Reading : The Hunger Artists

  • Mother Foucault's Bookshop 715 Southeast Grand Avenue Portland, OR, 97214 United States (map)

March 11th at 5 PM

In “The Hunger Artists,” a Portland State University graduate English course taught by Dr. Sarah Lincoln, scholars and artists are asked to engage with philosophy, theory, and literature that depicts both the personal and political significances of experiences of hunger, including famine, hunger strikes, anorexia, and other forms of “disorderly eating.” Students from the class will read from their work, inspired by writers such as Kafka, Louise Gluck, and Eavan Boland. If you are intrigued by a woman who accidentally swallows a wasp or the analysis of Margaret Atwood’s The Edible Woman, please join us March 11th at 5 PM
