A daring new anthology of short stories, 'The Strange History of
Suzanne LaFleshe' features women's stories on the theme of women
and fatness, edited by the award-winning scholar on US women's
short story Susan Koppelman. Spanning from the 1890s through the
1990s, this vital collection explores the many psychological and
emotional tensions in women's relationships to -- and perceptions
of -- their physical selves. Addressing the peculiarities, the
delights, and the shames of body politics that reside in the flesh,
these stories of bodies that refuse to be contained deftly and
astutely comment on popular notions of acceptable body types and
behaviours. Whether celebrating bodies deemed transgressive or
simply acknowledging that such bodies exist, these diverse literary
representations of fatness render the unfettered body brilliantly
-- unapologetically visible.
