| Description: |
''A splendid blast against fattism'' Mail on Sunday |
| Synopsis: |
'Fat is beautiful, sexy, and strong. Politicians cultivate it, singers require it, gourmets appreciate it, and lovers play with it. Fat is a fabulous three-letter word.' Eat Fat is a perverse, delightful and ingenious celebration of fat. In it Richard Klein argues against dieting and against our culture's current obsession with weight; as the Western world appears to be getting fatter he wonders whether there is a good reason for fat as he delights in all its forms, shapes and sizes. 'This is a splendid blast against fattism. Anyone carrying an ounce of the stuff will be cheered by Klein's assault' Peter McKay, Mail on Sunday 'Klein has produced a rich, wide-ranging and fascinating survey of fatness, its history, causes and semiology' Johnny Acton, Literary Review 'Witty, informed and unrepentant' Graham Caveney, Arena 'This book has rocked the boats of fashion, medicine and the diet industry -- and about time too. Pass the profiteroles' Cressida Connolly, Tatler 'A witty and informed look at the skinny emperors of dieting and weight loss' Jerome Burne, Independent 'Very entertaining' Brian Case, Time Out |
