A scathingly funny, wildly erotic and fiercely imaginative story
about food, sex and god from the Women's Prize longlisted author of
The Pisces A STYLIST, INDEPENDENT, THE WEEK AND RED HIGHLIGHT FOR
2021 'Sexy and fun and a little weird ... This riot of carnal
pleasure will make you laugh as well as gasp' The Times 'A
revelation ... Melissa Broder has produced one of the strangest and
sexiest novels of the new year ... Exhilarating' Entertainment
Weekly 'A luscious, heartbreaking story of self-discovery through
the relentless pursuit of desire. I couldn't get enough of this
devastating and extremely sexy book' Carmen Maria Machado, author
of Her Body and Other Parties Rachel is twenty-four, a lapsed Jew
who has made calorie restriction her religion. By day, she
maintains an illusion of control by way of obsessive food rituals.
At night, she pedals nowhere on the elliptical machine. Then Rachel
meets Miriam, a young Orthodox Jewish woman intent upon feeding
her. Rachel is suddenly and powerfully entranced by Miriam - by her
sundaes and her body, her faith and her family - and as the two
grow closer, Rachel embarks on a journey marked by mirrors,
mysticism, mothers, milk, and honey. Pairing superlative emotional
insight with unabashed vivid fantasy, Melissa Broder tells a tale
of appetites: of physical hunger, of sexual desire, of spiritual
longing. Milk Fed is a tender and riotously funny meditation on
love, certitude, and the question of what we are all being fed,
from one of our major writers on the psyche - both sacred and
profane.
This is the first published volume of Christine Berger's poetry.
She started writing around age fifty, never having picked up a pen
(or keyboard) before that. As a practicing witch for 26 years, and
a practioner of eclectic spiritual paths through her lifetime, from
Buddhism to Golden Dawn, writing provides a safety valve for
emotional release and a way of sharing for a strong introvert. An
identification with Nature and Gaia as mother, as well as peak
experiences from spiritual practice and the blessing of a strong
community provide much of the inspiration for her poems.
