13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl: Fiction de Mona Awad

13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl: Fiction

Autor Mona Awad
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 mar 2016
Growing up in a suburban hell Lizzie has never liked the way she looks. She starts dating guys online, but she's afraid to send pictures. So she starts to lose weight. With punishing drive, she counts almonds consumed, miles logged, pounds dropped. She grows up and gets thin, navigating double-edged validation from her mother, her friends, her husband, her reflection in the mirror. But no matter how much she loses, will she ever see herself as anything other than a fat girl? A brilliant, hilarious and at times shocking debut about our body image-obsessed culture.

Recenzii

In subject and voice, there are echoes of Margaret Atwood's The Edible Woman and Janice Galloway's The Trick Is to Keep Breathing, but neither has the wit of 13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl
Honest, searing, and necessary... 13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl peels back the curtain on the struggles of entering womanhood from body image, to relationships, to merely navigating the oh-so-cruel world
Awad deftly captures the many indignities that she - that women - experience around food and weight... Simultaneously tart and tender, 13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl is stunning
Shocking, sad, important and tender; this is a powerful rollercoaster of a read
[A] clever debut... The themes may be sobering but Awad examines them with a deliciously wry humour
The sharpness of Awad's humour, incorporates scathing cultural commentary as well as creating, through acidic wit, a credible internal landscape for her tormented protagonist.
A beautiful, necessary book
Luminous... Full of sharp insight and sly humour
