About This Book:

Title: Born Round: The Secret History of a Full-time Eater

Synopsis
Eating-disorder memoirs written by women are a dime -a-dozen, so Frank Bruni's honest account of his lifelong battle with binge eating, bulimia, sleep-eating, and simply being fat, provides a much needed male perspective to the genre. Bruni is no average overweight American, he's a food critic for The New York Times, and so it's his job to eat out seven nights a week, even as he struggles to stay on a diet. BORN ROUND is a funny, frank, and often touching account of a life literally lived at the alter of food, and the collateral damage of such a life: self-esteem problems and a miserable track-record with the opposite sex. Selected by Publishers Weekly as one of the 100 Best Books of 2009.
