I am looking (in connection to food metaphors and feeding on metaphors) for
indications of nutrition neurosis in Soviet and post-Soviet literarture -
like 'disorders' described in Zoshchenko's "Before the Sunrise" or in
Sorokin's "Loshadinyi sup". Here should belong eating/drinking
conflict,hiccups (sneezing and smoking being already studied), eating
uneatable (a lot of this stuff in Sorokin, but where else?), "eating a too
hot meal", agression against the breast. Would appreciate any suggestions,
Valery Merlin
