Ever since her engagement, the strangest thing has been happening to Marian McAlpin: she can't eat.  First meat, then eggs, vegetables, cake, pumpkin seeds--everything!  Worse yet, she has the crazy feeling she's being eaten.  She really ought to feel consumed with passion.  But she just feels...consumed.

A brilliant and powerful work rich in irony and metaphor, The Edible Woman is an unforgettable masterpiece by a true master of contemporary literary fiction.
