La Mujer Comestible (Spanish, Paperback)

A brilliant and powerful work rich in irony and metaphor, this novel narrates the fantastic transformation of a young woman during the final days before her wedding. Ever since her engagement, Marian McAlpin has been unable to eat-- first meat, then eggs, vegetables, cake, and pumpkin seeds-- nothing appeals to her. Worse yet, she's beginning to suspect that she herself is being eaten. Just when she ought to feel consumed with passion, she really just feels . . . consumed.
