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. | | Contents note: | A collection of short stories by American authors, first published in 2003. Includs stories by Dorothy Allison, Frederick Busch, Peter Carey, Raymond Carver, Junot Díaz, Andre Dubus, Pam Houston, Jill McCorkle, George Saunders and Tobias Wolff. |
