Binding: Paperback
Number Of Pages: 278
Release Date: 2003
Details: Spanning the 1890s through the 1990s, this unique, daring, and vital collection explores the many psychological and emotional tensions in women's relationships to--and perceptions of--their physical selves. Addressing the peculiarities, the delights, and the shames of body politics that reside in the flesh, these stories of bodies that refuse to be contained deftly and astutely comment on popular notions of acceptable body types and behaviors.
Often witty, sometimes painful, and always revelatory, the stories in this anthology offer a measured assessment of the rules, unspoken and otherwise, that govern women's bodies. Whether celebrating bodies deemed transgressive or simply acknowledging that such bodies exist, the volume's diverse literary representations of fatness render these bodies brilliantly, unapologetically visible.
