Descripción: Críticas "An erotic, singular experience that could only come from Broder's mind... brimming with tension, and food, and fantasies." --Isaac Fitzgerald, "The Today Show" "Hilarious, lush and sorrowful...the short, tart, candid chapters are like snacks, and the reader cannot help but reach for another until it is gone...This work is unafraid of vulnerability, and appetite, and loss." --Jackie Thomas-Kennedy, The Minneapolis Star Tribune "Captivating...delicious and depraved...a ruthless, laugh-out-loud examination of life under the tyranny of diet culture... You will eat this up, run to buy a copy for a friend, and realize with a sigh that every one of your friends needs this book in her life." --Glamour "A delectable exploration of physical and emotional hunger... combines Broder's singular style with adventures of the calorie- and climax-filled kind, sumptuous fillings surrounded by perfectly baked plot." --Bethanne Patrick, The Washington Post "Profoundly sexy yet deeply sad...Milk Fed gathers strands of faith, hunger, queerness, lust, and loneliness and braids them into a fully risen challah of human experience." --Emma Specter, Vogue "Anything by Melissa Broder is an immediate must-read... a precise blend of desire, discomfort, spirituality, and existential ache makes Broder's depiction of the human experience so canny. --Arianna Rebolini, Buzzfeed"Outstanding . . . a bold and luscious story of desire in all its forms--for food, for sex, for belonging. . . . Rarely has the fraught intersection of pleasure, appetite, and diet culture been written about so deliciously as in Milk Fed." --Esquire "A thrilling examination of hunger, desire, faith, family and love." --Time Magazine "Bravely questions the particularly female lionization of thin and loathing of fat, landing on fresh explanations...deliciously droll... a celebration of bodily liberation." --The New York Times "Dangerously delicious and utterly idiosyncratic, Milk Fed is the honest, compelling convergence of diet culture, religion, and sex that we've been craving." --Marie Claire "Clever, thoughtful, and erotic." --Bust "A Freudian fable of sorts, one that is hilarious, self-deprecating and full of Broder's signature profligate brilliance. This visceral and transporting portrait of self-denial and its twin, excess, sheds light on the psychology underpinning the American obsession with weight. Daring, chaotic and pleasingly heretical, Milk Fed is the work of a total pro." --Emma Levy, Shelf Awareness "If you're going to read one book this February, make it this one... Milk Fed is brutally funny, poetic, and at times, totally bizarre...Broder writes with the kind of unfiltered honesty that lives deep inside of us" --Gina Vaynshteyn, Apartment Therapy "A delicious new novel that ravishes with sex and food... Broder has a rare ability to ground her fantasy in reality without undermining her imaginative vision, making it feel personal and raw and relatable... with humanity, sardonic wit, and erotic scenes so potent that the heat of my blushing face made my NYC-apartment radiator's seem tepid, Milk-Fed vividly evokes the lives of each woman, so that we're fully invested in them." --Kera Bolonik, Boston Globe "A romp... a pageant of bodily juices and exploratory fingers and moan after moan of delight... [from] a wild, wicked mind." --Hillary Kelly, The Los Angeles Times "Explores hunger in all its permutations through the eyes of Rachel, who begins a romance with a woman who works at the frozen yogurt shop she frequents. As their relationship deepens, so does Rachel's capacity for nourishment and pleasure, bodily and spiritually." --The New York Times "A revelation...Melissa Broder has produced one of the strangest and sexiest novels of the new year...exhilarating." --Leah Greenblatt, Entertainment Weekly "Deeply hilarious and embarrassingly relatable." --Samantha Irby, author of Wow, No Thank You"Milk Fed hits that sweet spot where pleasure and tension interse
