Marya Justine Hornbacher (born April 4, 1974) is an American author and freelance journalist. Her book ''Wasted: A Memoir of Anorexia and Bulimia'', is a Pulitzer Prize nominated autobiographical account of her struggle with eating disorders, written when she was twenty-two. This is the book which originally brought attention to Hornbacher. It has been translated into sixteen languages and sold over a million copies in the U.S. ==Bibliography== Her first book was ''Wasted: A Memoir of Anorexia and Bulimia'' (see above). This book was updated in May 2014 with a Post Script by Marya Hornbacher, "Hornbacher, an authority in the field of eating disorders, argues that recovery is not only possible, it is necessary. But the journey is not easy or guaranteed. With a new ending to her story that adds a contemporary edge, Wasted continues to be timely and relevant." Her second book is the critically praised 2005 novel, ''The Center of Winter'', which follows a family in the aftermath of a suicide. Her third book, published in April 2008, a memoir titled ''Madness: A Bipolar Life'', chronicles the years following ''Wasted: A Memoir of Anorexia and Bulimia'' when she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Her fourth book, published in 2010, is the recovery handbook ''Sane: Mental Illness, Addiction, and the Twelve Steps'' written as a guide to working the Twelve Steps for people who suffer from both addiction and mental illness. Her fifth book, published in 2011, ''Waiting: A Nonbeliever's Higher Power'', explores spirituality and what that can mean to someone recovering—from addiction, mental illness, or both—who does not believe in God. Her second book, ''The Center of Winter'', published in 2005, received excellent reviews, and her second memoir, ''Madness: A Bipolar Life'', was published in 2008. It was met with immediate praise and hit the New York Times Bestseller list. ''Sane: Mental Illness, Addiction, and the 12 Steps'', was published in 2010, and ''Waiting: A Nonbeliever's Higher Power'' was published in 2011. Both were finalists for the Books for Better Life Award. Also, within the past several years she has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize in both non-fiction and poetry. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marya Hornbacher」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
