In Hitchcock's Appetites, Casey McKittrick offers the first
book-length study of the relationship between Hitchcock's body size
and his cinema. Whereas most critics and biographers of the great
director are content to consign his large figure and larger
appetite to colorful anecdotes of his private life, McKittrick
argues that our understanding of Hitchcock's films, his creative
process, and his artistic mind are incomplete without considering
his lived experience as a fat man. Using archival research of his
publicity, script collaboration, and personal communications with
his producers, in tandem with close textual readings of his films,
feminist critique, and theories of embodiment, Hitchcock's
Appetites produces a new and compelling profile of Hitchcock's
creative life, and a fuller, more nuanced account of his auteurism.
