Doyle has a flare for writing about family dysfunction with a twist. With a unique blend of realism and fantasy, \u003ci\u003eThe Girl Who Ate Kalamazoo\u003c\/i\u003e is the moving story of the hauntingly beautiful Audrey Mapes, who began her illustrious \"career\" by downing crayons by the carton only to graduate to eating an entire city one bite at a time. With vivid, acerbic wit, Doyle details the life of the world's most gifted \"eatist\" through the eyes of Audrey's sister, McKenna. Through her eyes, we see the real tragedy of the Mapes story is not the destruction of a city, but rather, the quiet disintegration of a family who just didn't quite know how to love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDARRIN DOYLE was born and raised in Michigan and even lived in Kalamazoo.
