What We Don't Talk About When We Talk About Fat by Aubrey Gordon

challenging hopeful reflective slow-paced

4.5

Once you get over the fact that Gordon doesn’t narrate this herself lol (this was before Maintenance Phase really took off), this is a wonderful, insightful read. I wish I had read this years ago. For those of us who have never experienced what it’s like to live in a fat body, this should be required reading. Gordon does an excellent job of weaving memoir in with cultural critique. It brings her points home in a much more visceral way. After this, go read Gordon’s latest book, and if you can, find a way to stream the recent documentary about her, Your Fat Friend!
