"The Art of Starving" by Sam J. Miller follows the story of Matt, a boy grappling with his identity and the intense experiences of his teenage years. After a traumatic event, Matt discovers that starvation gives him heightened senses and strange powers, leading him to explore the dark corners of his mind and his environment. As he wrestles with his relationship with food, his body, and his emerging sexuality, he confronts the challenges of mental health, self-discovery, and acceptance. The novel adeptly navigates themes of trauma, resilience, and the complexities of growing up in a flawed world. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
