A Hunger Artist

This story is about a man that lives without food in a cage. Many people doubted that he went without food but despite the non believers many people would still visit. Once he decided to join the circus much interest in him was lost, at times it was unknown how long he hadn't eaten. At first i thought this man had symbolic reasons for his starvation but soon found out he did not. I did not really care for this story and I have nothing to gain from it.
