At sixteen, Regina began cutting back on meals to the point where
her hair started to fall out. Later, she began to binge at night
while her family slept. For a long time, she was able to keep her
eating disorder a secret, though hiding her problem didn't stop it
from harming her emotional and physical well-being. The pressures
of wanting to succeed as an artist led her to a nervous breakdown
and, finally, a strong desire to start from scratch. In Fat,
Austrian-born author and artist Regina Hofer documents her battle
with anorexia and bulimia. This powerful and imaginative graphic
novel follows Regina from her childhood home in Upper Austria,
where food and family mealtimes were often associated with feelings
of personal failure, to art school at the Mozarteum University
Salzburg and a violent reckoning with her dysfunctional family.
Vivid and courageous, this memoir will resonate with anyone living
through or seeking to understand what it is like to live with an
eating disorder.
