Tell Me How You Eat
Book •
Tell Me How You Eat is Amber Husain's most recent book, which the podcast centers on; it recounts her experience of anorexia, diagnosis, and recovery alongside broader reflections on food, community, and political meaning.
Blending memoir, cultural history, and political critique, Husain interrogates clinical narratives of eating disorders, wartime starvation studies, psychedelic-assisted therapy, and feminist traditions of communal feeding.
The book asks what conditions make eating possible and desirable and explores alternative frameworks for thinking about feeding, pleasure, and food justice.
In the episode Husain discusses how the book emerged from a period of liberation from disordered eating and a subsequent inquiry into historical and communal practices around food.
The podcast summarizes themes but does not provide a chapter-by-chapter breakdown.
