Does anyone know of book fiction or biography with a male character with
an eating disorder? I have promised our high school librarian that I
would ask you all.
Thanks.

Van Whitfield's "Something's Wrong with Your Scale" (1999) is a fiction
title
about a man with an (over)weight problem. It is humorous.

Is there a specific eating disorder this person is looking for? There are
several out there that afflict both men and women.

Off hand, I can think of two: one book titled MY LIFE AS A MALE ANOREXIC by
Michael Krasnow and another, ONE FAT SUMMER by Robert Lipstye.

HTH,

Adam and Eve and pinch me by Ruth Rendell has a male character who suffers from an eating disorder, possibly anorexia, who develops a successful media career discussing his illness. Extra interest is added to the plot by his overweight wife and the reactions the couple receive from other characters in the book.

Hi, Andrea:
Rex Stout's Nero Wolfe certainly had an eating disorder and a
beer-drinking disorder, although I don't think it was discussed in any
negative way at all. Correct me if I'm wrong about that. Hope I've done
this right; my first post.

The Total View of Taftly by Scott Morris is fun.

And my old fave, Nickel Mountain, by John
Gardner, has a very obese male protagonist,
although I don't know that it is ABOUT his
habits...
