Whether perusing a recipe or learning what a literary character eats, readers approach a text differently when reading about food. Read My Plate: The Literature of Food explores what narrators and characters (in fiction, in performance, and in the popular genre of the "food memoir") cook and eat. Beat poet Allen Ginsberg, the inmates of the Terezin concentration camp, performance artist Karen Finley, novelist Jhumpa Lahiri, playwright Suzan-Lori Parks, and the celebrated chef-turned-travel-journalist Anthony Bourdain are just a few examples of the writers whose works are discussed. Close readings of the literal and figurative "plates" in these texts allow a unique form of intimate access to the speakers' feelings and memories and helps readers to understand more about how the dynamics of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, and social class affect what the narrators/characters eat, from tourtiere to collard greens to a school lunch bento box.

Problemen mit dem Stuhlgang wird, gemessen an ihrer H{ufig- keit, in der Medizin relativ wenig Aufmerksamkeit gewidmet. Demgegen}ber besteht ein erheblicher Bedarf an praktisch nutzbarer Information. Das vorliegende Buch - Ergebnis einer gr}ndlichen Diskussion namhafter Autoren - fa t den derzeitigen Kenntnisstand zusammen. Es behandelt zun{chst die Grundlagen der Motilit{t und beschreibt alle wichtigen Untersuchungsmethoden. Im klinischen Teil werden Ursachen, Diagnostik und Therapiem-glichkeiten der chronischen Obstipation und der Stuhlinkontinenz dargestellt. Internisten, Gastroenterologen und Allgemein{rzte erhalten damit fundierte Informationen }ber in der Praxis h{ufig geklagte Beschwerden.
