This paper examines Delphine de Vigan’s semi-autobiographical novel Días sin hambre (published in English as No and Me ), moving beyond a surface-level reading of anorexia as a mere eating disorder. Instead, it analyzes the novel as a profound meditation on the pressures of modern girlhood, the failures of familial communication, and the paradoxical pursuit of an impossible "best" self through self-destruction. By exploring the protagonist’s internal monologue and her relationship with the homeless girl No, this study argues that the anorexia depicted in the novel serves as a flawed coping mechanism for grief and a desperate attempt to exercise agency in a chaotic world.
