Does anyone know what novel is being discussed in Alcott's class about the performer who is starving his/herself? I've been wondering for a long time...

Kakfa's "The Hunger Artist" is something you read in high school...not college.

They're not discussing a novel. They're discussing Kafka's short story, "The Hunger Artist." You should check it out. It's a good story and pretty short, too.
