Gag Reflex

Gag Reflex

Elle Nash

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

Through diaristic ellipses, Nash crafts an origin story of obsessional masochism. 2005. Lucy shambles through the last weeks of her senior year of high school, jonesing for a thinner body, desperate to connect with another human. Who is reflected back at her when she is sleeping with someone, when she is puking into the toilet bowl? Who is reflected back when she’s alone? Only the internet knows, where she muses on the concept of her “self” through her Livejournal, with a cadre of online friends who are definitely NOT pro-anorexic. Everyone's sick here, but at least they understand.
