In narratives about recovery from disordered eating, the beginning and the end are often covered – but what about the messy middle part? That’s what UT-Austin journalism professor Mallary Tenore Tarpley explores in her award-winning book SLIP: Life in the Middle of Eating Disorder Recovery, which chronicles the author’s childhood struggles alongside a thorough investigation of treatment and recovery coming from interviews and surveys of hundreds of patients, doctors, and researchers. Join for an author reception and conversation with psychiatrist Dr. Pooja Lakshmin, author of national bestseller Real Self-Care. A $20 ticket gets you the book and a reserved seat, but free RSVPs are available. – Kat McNevins
