A darkly funny, deeply resonant, and exquisitely written literary debut, 13 Ways of Taking a look at a Fat Lady is the storyplot of 1 woman's journey from excess fat adolescence to the ex-fat adulthood, as she looks for love and acceptance from everyone except herself. Growing up in the suburban hell of Misery Saga (aka Mississauga), Lizzie hasn't liked just how she looks - even though her best friend, Mel, says she's the pretty one. She starts off dating fellas online, but she's scared to send pictures, even though her skinny good friend, China, will her make-up: She understands no one wants her if they could really see her. So she starts off to lose weight. With punishing drive she matters almonds consumed, kilometers logged, pounds decreased. She fights her way into coveted dresses. She matures and gets thin, navigating double-edged validation from her mom, her friends, her spouse, her representation in the reflection. But no subject how much she manages to lose, will she ever see herself as anything other than a fat lady? In her great, hilarious, and sometimes shocking debut, Mona Awad all together skewers the body image-obsessed culture that tells women they haven't any value outside their physical appearance and provides a tender and moving depiction of an lovably difficult young female whose life is hijacked by her struggle to conform. As caustically funny as it is heartbreaking, 13 Ways of Taking a look at a Fat Lady introduces a essential new tone in fiction.
