I was impressed by how gracefully this author integrated ideas about famine, starvation as punishment or oppression, starvation as political protest, starvation as mental illness, starvation as a religious practice, and starvation as scientific experimentation. Haunting rather than an easy read, given the subject matter. Still, because its well written and researched I recommend it.
