The Man Who Couldn't Eat

Written by Jon Reiner

Narrated by Dan John Miller

An extraordinary, unforgettable story of one man grappling with insatiable hunger.--Jon Reiner was happily married with two children, living on Manhattan's Upper West Side, when a near-fatal medical crisis that resulted in emergency surgery threatened to take his life. He was sentenced to months of IV feeding. The medical commandment 'nothing by mouth' came to represent the prolonged food deprivation that would have a radical impact on Jon's relationship with food.
