Summary:
"At fourteen, Kelsey Osgood became fascinated by the stories of women who starved themselves. She devoured their memoirs and magazine articles, committing the most salacious details of their cautionary tales to memory--how little they ate, their lowest weights, and their merciless exercise regimes--to learn what it would take to be the very best anorectic. When she was hospitalized for
anorexia
at fifteen, she found herself in an existential wormhole:
how
can one suffer from something one has actively sought out? Through her own decade-long battle with
anorexia
, which included three lengthy hospitalizations, Osgood harrowingly describes the haunting and competitive world of inpatient facilities populated with other adolescents, some as young as ten years old. With attuned storytelling and unflinching introspection, Kelsey Osgood unpacks the
modern
myths of
anorexia
, examining the cult-like underbelly of eating disorders in the young, as she chronicles her own rehabilitation.
How
to
Disappear
Completely
is a brave, candid and emotionally wrenching memoir that explores the physical, internal, and social ramifications of eating disorders and subverts many of the popularly held notions of the illness and, most hopefully, the path to recovery. "--Publisher.
