Strange History of Suzanne Lafleshe And Other Stories of Women and Fatness Book

Uneven but fascinating collection of stories about fat women over the course of a century. There's a variety of styles and portrayals of women and weight. A few of the stories were actually quite dreadful. Highly valuable were the editor's essays that sandwiched the collection, as well as the epigraphs at the start of each story. Speaking of editors, my god, this book needed an editor because wow, the number of typos in this book borders on comical. For this reason, I had to knock off an extra star. It did introduce me to other authors I want to check out, and I already picked up a couple of older collections the author recommended. I'd love to see more collections like this one.
