Margaret Atwood | The edible woman
- Ever since Marian McAlpin got engaged, the strangest thing has been happening to her--she can't eat. First it was meat, then eggs, vegetables, cake, pumpkin seeds--everything! In fact, Marian has the unsettling feeling that she's being eaten. While she ought to be feeling consumed with passion, she just feels . . . consumed. "Atwood takes risks and wins"--Time.
