Sharman Apt Russell, the highly acclaimed author of Anatomy of a Rose and An Obsession with Butterflies , here takes us on a tour of hunger, from eighteen hours without food to thirty-six hours to seven days and beyond. What Russell finds-both in our bodies and in cultures around the world-is extraordinary.
