Upton Sinclair, fresh from exposing the meatpackers, decided the cure for most ailments was eating nothing at all. His fasting letters, the symposium responses, and even the humors of fasting make an odd, fascinating chapter of American health enthusiasm. A famous novelist's strangest crusade, in his own words. Skip a meal and read it.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
