What is Call Me Anorexic about?
When Michael, a struggling, anorexic young man, comes home to his apartment in Allston, Massachusetts in December of 2000, he finds his live-in girlfriend, Jessie, with her bags packed. She’s moving in with his best friend, Les. Just when Michael thinks things can’t get worse, they do. Quickly. As his life spirals out of control, Michael’s brother, bestselling novelist and nationally renowned music critic, David, and sister-in-law, Monique, a retired model, finally intercede. Pushed into therapy, Michael begins his uneasy, darkly humorous, and often wildly irreverent odyssey back to well-being. While he stumbles towards a healthier lifestyle with the help of his nutritionist and friend, Richie, Michael unravels his past through a distorted, food-obsessed lens, which reveals his volatile relationship with Jessie and the comic sexual and traumatic familial roots of his disorder. Michael’s unique road to recovery has many detours, but when he meets Phoebe, a recovering bulimic and kindred spirit, it seems he’s finally headed in the right direction until two devastating revelations send him reeling. If he is to survive, Michael must make one important decision that will change his life
