“We talk about love like it's an involuntary act. We fall into love, like a hole, a puddle, an elevator shaft. We never step mindfully into love. Love we seem to think, requires a loss of control; love necessitates that vertiginous giving over to gravity; love wants you to have no choice.”

A Certain Hunger is a satire novel that tells the story of Dorothy Daniels, an intelligent food critic, serial killer and cannibal. She tells her story from jail where she professes her love for sex, food, and eating her lovers. If you're squeamish, pass on this. If you're into wildly weird grotesque books, this is for you.
