Description
Milk Fed is a darkly hilarious and thought-provoking novel that explores the complexities of desire, spirituality, and existential ache. From the acclaimed author of The Pisces and So Sad Today, this book is a precise blend of the human experience.
Meet Rachel, a 24-year-old woman who has made calorie restriction her religion. By day, she maintains an illusion of control, but at night, she's drawn to the comfort and security of food and human connection. When her therapist encourages her to take a 90-day communication detox from her mother, Rachel's life is forever changed.
As Rachel embarks on a journey of self-discovery, she meets Miriam, a zaftig young Orthodox Jewish woman who feeds her body and soul. With its riotous humor and profanity, Milk Fed is a wild and wicked exploration of the human appetite, both physical and spiritual.
