Fat Lit

Do we think the McDonald's-esque color scheme is a coincidence or naw?

I’ve been able to identify only a handful of books written by fat people qua fat people published over the last 12 years that fit—sometimes uncomfortably—within the bounds of creative nonfiction. These books:

1. are written by people who would identify or be recognized as fat when authored.

2. are substantially engaged with the experience of navigating the world in a fat body.

3. don’t rely on an ideology (pro- or anti-diet) to structure their narrative.

Here they are!
