Laurie Halse Anderson
Problem-novel fodder becomes a devastating portrait of the extremes of self-deception in this brutal and poetic deconstruction of how one girl stealthily vanishes into the depths of anorexia. Lia has been down this road before: her competitive relationship with her best friend, Cassie, once landed them both in the hospital, but now not even Cassie鈥檚 death can eradicate Lia鈥檚 disgust of the 鈥渇at cows鈥?who scrutinize her body all day long. Her father (no, 鈥淧rofessor Overbrook鈥? and her mother (no, 鈥淒r. Marrigan鈥? are frighteningly easy to dupe鈥攖inkering and sabotage inflate her scale readings as her weight secretly plunges: 101.30, 97.00, 89.00. Anderson illuminates a dark but utterly realistic world where every piece of food is just a caloric number, inner voices scream 鈥淣O!鈥?with each swallow, and self-worth is too easily gauged: 鈥淚 am the space between my thighs, daylight shining through.鈥?Struck-through sentences, incessant repetition, and even blank pages make Lia鈥檚 inner turmoil tactile, and gruesome details of her decomposition will test sensitive readers. But this is necessary reading for anyone caught in a feedback loop of weight loss as well as any parent unfamiliar with the scripts teens recite so easily to escape from such deadly situations.
