Summary
Ever since her engagement, Marian McAlpin can't eat: first meat, then eggs, vegetables, cake, pumpkin seeds-anything! Worse yet, she has the crazy feeling that she's being eaten herself. Instead of feeling consumed with passion, Marian simply feels consumed. This comic novel is a pointed satire of modern relationships.
