Review # 1 was written on 2009-04-11 00:00:00 Jeffrey Schmidt This book is an anthology over decades of short stories that are about women and their bodies. It is great to see a lot of body/fat positive stories from 1895 to this centruy. When I am upset or depressed i read some of my favorite short stories; "The Dream Diet" and "The strange History of Suzanne LaFleshe" are my two favorite stories. I have read this book completly once but I cannot even count the times I have re-read specific stories. I recommend this book!

Review # 2 was written on 2013-07-27 00:00:00 Dane Harris 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.
