Between The Covers : Conversations with Writers show

Summary: <a href="https://i0.wp.com/www.davidnaimon.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Screen-shot-2015-02-25-at-1.18.34-PM.png"></a>The language of stars is the language of the body. Like a star, the anorexic burns fuel that isn’t replenished; she is held together by her own gravity.  With luminous, lyrical prose, Binary Star is an account of a young woman struggling with anorexia and her long-distance, alcoholic boyfriend. On a road trip circumnavigating the U.S., they stumble into a book on veganarchism, and believe they’ve found a direction. Binary Star is a fast-moving saga of two young lovers and the culture that keeps them sick (or at least inundated with quick-fix solutions).<br> <br>
