The Art of Starving is a 2017 young adult science fiction novel by Sam J. Miller. It was published by Harper Collins.
Synopsis
Matt is a bullied gay teen with an eating disorder who discovers that, as his hunger increases, he begins to manifest superpowers.
Reception
The Art of Starving won the 2018 Andre Norton Award.[1]
Kirkus Reviews called it a "dark and lovely tale of supernatural vengeance and self-destruction", and described Matt's superpowers as "trippy".[2] Publishers Weekly lauded Miller for being "brutally honest" in describing the long-term physical effects of anorexia.[3] Tor.com noted that, when compared to other works about eating disorders, it was "too tongue-in-cheek and bizarre" to be a standard morality tale.[4]
