Author: Emma Specter
Narrator: Erin deWard
An unflinching and deeply reported look at the realities of binge-eating disorder from a rising culture commentator and writer for Vogue. Millions of us use restrictive diets, intermittent fasting, IV therapies, and Ozempic abuse to shrink until we are sample-size acceptable. But for the 30 million Americans who live with eating disorders, it isn’t just about less. More, Please is a chronicle of a lifelong fixation with food-its power to soothe, to comfort, to offer a fleeting escape from the outside world-as well as an examination of the ways in which compulsory thinness, diet culture, and the seductive promise of "wellness" have resulted in warping countless Americans’ relationship with healthy eating. Melding memoir, reportage, and in-depth interviews with some of the most prominent and knowledgeable commentators currently writing about food, fatness, and disordered eating-Virginia Sole-Smith, Virgie Tovar, Aiyana Ishmael, Leslie Jamison, and others-Emma Specter explores binge-eating disorder as both a personal problem and a societal one. In More, Please, she provides a context, a history, and a language for what it means to always want more than you’ll allow yourself to have.

Free Download Your attention, please. Storia e musica degli Afghan Whigs di Nicolas Merli
Italiano | 15 luglio 2022 | ISBN: 8892771221 | True EPUB | 168 pagine | 4.4 MB
"John e Rick mi dicevano cose tipo: ‘Non puoi farlo’. E io: ‘Perché? Chi lo dice?’. Non ci sono regole nel rock’n’roll. È illegalità. Siamo qui per questo, per infrangere le regole. È questo il divertimento". Così il frontman Greg Dulli giustifica e insieme descrive perfettamente la musica degli Afghan Whigs: che è libertà totale di approccio e soprattutto di scelta e rilettura di influenze diametralmente opposte tra loro. Dall’esordio autoprodotto all’approdo in Sub Pop, dai capolavori degli anni Novanta fino all’inaspettata reunion, questo libro vuole raccontare la storia di un gruppo difficilmente definibile, anacronistico perché fuori dal tempo, troppo spesso pigramente definito dalla critica come una sorta di cortocircuito tra soul e grunge, ma che in realtà è tanto di più.
