Myerson's third novel, her most uninhibited and powerful, is Amy's
story - a journey of sexual desire and her strange relationship
with the fat man who rescues her from the past. Amy is a waitress
living in Bath. She is married but she also finds men from the
park, gives them sex for money and pays it straight into
Nationwide. And then the mysterious Harris arrives in the
restaurant one day; he knew Amy's mother, who drowned in the Aegean
when Amy was just a young girl. Amy is confused but intrigued when
Harris demands that she meets his friend Gary, a young fat man he
shares a flat with. It is the beginning of a strange relationship
that will take them back to Greece, where the past - and all its
dark secrets - is confronted. Amy's story is so compulsive and
frightening that it is impossible to put down. It is told in a
spare and hypnotic prose that will leave you enchanted. Me and the
Fat Man establishes this highly acclaimed writer as one of the
finest novelists at work today.
