The language of the stars is the language of the body. Like a star, the anorexic burns fuel that isn't replenished; she is held together by her own gravity. With luminous, lyrical prose, Sarah Gerard's Binary Star (Two Dollar Radio) is an impassioned account of a young woman struggling with anorexia and her long-distance, alcoholic boyfriend. On a road trip across the United States, they stumble onto a veganarchism book and believe they've found a direction. Binary Star is an intense, fast-moving saga of two young lovers and the culture that keeps them sick (or at least inundated with quick-fix solutions); a society that sells diet pills, sleeping pills, magazines that profile celebrities who lose weight or too much weight or put on weight, and books that pimp diet secrets or recipes for success.
