''Wasted'' is written from the raw, disintegrated center of young pain: there is power in this approach At the same time, the gym scene raises a question about distance: at 23, still living in a ''state of mutual antagonism'' Or ''Recovery'' speaks to her respect for their insidious power and persistence. This lack of resolution is both the book's strength and its weakness: ''Wasted''is a gritty, unflinching look at eating disorders, and Hornbacher's refusal to tie the story up in a neat package labeled ''Triumph'' The glee that bubbles up when she realizes she's lost weight, then hits the treadmill and runs for 90 minutes, until her bad knee ''feels like it's exploding.'' Hornbacher's entire young life has beenĭominated by an eating disorder, one so extreme it pared her down to a near-fatal 52 pounds, and as she reveals here, she is by no means ''cured.'' ![]() ![]() ![]() N the final pages of ''Wasted: A Memoir of Anorexia and Bulimia,'' Marya Hornbacher describes a recent trip to the gym: she steps on the scale, notes ![]() Read the First Chapter of The Secret Language of Eating Disorders By CAROLINE KNAPP Are people with eating disorders desperate for control or just too sensitive for their own good? ![]()

A deluxe hardcover edition of the pioneering cyberpunk novel that predicted our obsession with the Internet-part of Penguin Galaxy, a collectible series of six sci-fi/fantasy classics, featuring a series introduction by Neil Gaiman ![]() ![]() ![]() I downloaded this audiobook on a bit of a whim, but I am so glad I did. He took about a chapter to grow on me, but thereafter, I enjoyed the performance. While he does sound a little young, Picasso did a great job of conveying a sense of innocence and vulnerability through Griffin's narration. What about Tom Picasso’s performance did you like? I find myself quickly becoming a Silvera fan, and I look forward to the release of his next book, 'They Both Die at the End.' The novel is poignant, insightful, raw, and, most importantly, enjoyable. That being said, 'History Is All You Left Me' concludes well and leaves a lot on which to reflect. The novel's third act does struggle a bit: some events unfold that are not only unprecedented, but a little difficult to buy. ![]() I cared about these characters-I sincerely wanted Griffin to find happiness again. This novel had me smiling, sneering, chuckling, and frowning. The relationship between Griffin and Theo is authentic and heartfelt and the tenderness of their dynamic resonates in the pain that Griffin feels as he processes his grief over Theo's death. Silvera's novel is a very beautiful exploration of first love and loss-death, in fact. Would you consider the audio edition of History Is All You Left Me to be better than the print version?
