Synopsis: A nonfiction Shes Come Undone,Fat Girlis a powerfully honest and compulsively readable memoir of obsession with food, and with ones body, penned by a Guggenheim and NEA award-winning writer. For any woman who has ever had a love/hate relationship with food and with how she looks; for anyone who has knowingly or unconsciously used food to try to fill the hole in his heart or soothe the craggy edges of his psyche, Fat Girlis a brilliantly rendered, angst-filled coming-of-age story of gain and loss. From the lush descriptions of food that call to mind the writings of M. F. K. Fisher at her finest, to the heartbreaking accounts of Moores deep longing for a family and a sense of belonging and love, Fat Girlstuns and shocks, saddens and tickles.
