What Are You Looking At The First Fat Fiction Anthology [Paperback]

This anthology of thirty works by some of our best contemporary American writers looks at our perennial American obsession: fat. It's everywhere, all around you, and maybe even on you. Now, America's consuming passion at last has its own anthology. From Andre Dubus's delicious story of a young woman more comfortable in her fat body than her thin one
( The Fat Girl ), to Tobias Wolff's tale of bonding over pancakes ( Hunters in the Snow ), Dorothy Allison's poem about food and love ( Dumpling Child ), Peter Carey's surreal tale of a fat-man revolution ( The Fat Man in History ), Wesley McNair's poetic celebration Fat Heaven , and George Saunders's The 400-pound CEO, this bountiful feast of fiction and poetry will ensure no reader ever looks at fat quite the same way again.
