Binary Star is a powerful and quick-paced story of two young lovers, one a young woman who struggles with anorexia, the other her alcoholic, long-distance boyfriend, as they travel the country trying to find their way.
The story explores the culture that keeps them both sick or at least continually suggests new quick-fix solutions - diet pills, sleeping pills, magazines that constantly discuss celebrities' weight gains or weight losses, and books that insist there is some secret to diet or a recipe for dreams.
The language of the stars is the language of the body. Like a star, the anorexic burns fuel that isn't replenished; she is held together by her own gravity.
