The Art of Starving

Although I share a name with the protagonist, our life circumstances are very different. But I found myself nodding several times at our shared darkness. I would say that pain is Sam Miller's medium, if he wasn't so skilled in the other corners of human experience.

Ted Sturgeon, for all his varied story ideas, said that the only thing he ever wrote about was love. Sam writes about love. When you put this book down, you'll want to go to someone you love and maybe hug them, or maybe just be in their presence for a little while.
