I'm Mallary Tenore Tarpley, a writer and journalism professor at the University of Texas at Austin. My debut nonfiction book, SLIP: Life in the Middle of Eating Disorder Recovery, will be published by Simon & Schuster's Simon Element imprint in May 2025. The book blends immersive reporting, emerging science and social history around eating disorders alongside my own harrowing journey from a childhood with anorexia to my present-day reality as a mother still grappling with the elusiveness of full recovery.
