a memoir of Anorexia and Bulimia
KORTE INHOUD
"I wrote this book because I believe some people will recognize themselves in it - eating disordered or not. I wrote it because I disagree with much of what is generally believed about eating disorders. I wrote it because people often dismiss an eating disorder as a manifestation of vanity, immaturity, madness. It is, in some ways, all of those things. But it is also an addiction. It is a response, albeit a rather twisted one, to a culture, a family, a self. I would do anything to keep people from going where I went. This book was the only thing I could think of." MARYA HORNBACHER.

By age nine, she was secretly bulimic, throwing up at home after school while watching The Brady Bunch reruns on television and munching Fritos. ...
