Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“A slap-in-the-face of a book—courageous, heartbreaking, fascinating, and darkly funny.”
—Augusten Burroughs, New York Times bestselling author of Running with Scissors
“Judith Moore grabs the reader by the collar, and shakes up our notion of life in the fat lane.”
—David Sedaris, New York Times bestselling author of Me Talk Pretty One Day
“Brilliant and angry and unsettling—there has never been a book like Fat Girl.”
—New York Times Book Review
“Moore…employs her edgy, refreshingly candid voice to tell the story of a little girl who weighed 112 pounds in second grade…As relentless as this catalogue of beatings, humilation, and self-loathing can be, it’s tolerable—even inspiring in places—because Moore pulls it off without a glimmer of self-pity.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Poignant, deeply felt, remarkably funny, Moore’s memoir will resonate with anyone who’s ever lived with self-hatred.”
—Booklist
