Corpus Delicious: December 2010

I am currently writing this novel offline and will post more chapters soon.

About Corpus Delicious

Lilithe “Lily” Sylvia D'Adame, a Quality Control Engineer at a factory that manufactures a liquid nutrient for an entire country, goes into hiding with her lover Adam after they realize she can no longer maintain a legally acceptable weight, thus risking imprisonment or even execution.

In Corpus Luminous, solid food is illegal--in fact, most people have never even heard of it, let alone experienced it--and fat is taboo. “A-hh,” the national nutrient, is strictly controlled and carefully doled out to maintain a slim citizenry. Public consumption of A-hh is considered a perversion; everyone sips their A-hh alone, hidden away in Nutrition Stations--even privately, taking in sustenance is viewed as shameful, albeit necessary.

While underground, Lily and Adam, a former judge for The Board of Acceptable Body Weight, hear rumors about Corpus Delicious, a country that embraces, with gusto, fat and public eating of exotic substances.

The two lovers go in search of this fascinating land and discover a delicious new world.
