Low-fat love stories

Leavy, Patricia, 1975- author, Scotti, Victoria, author, illustrator

Overview

\"'Low-Fat Love Stories' is a collection of short stories and visual portraits based on interview research with women about a dissatisfying relationship with a romantic partner or relative, or their body image. The stories focus on settling in relationships, the gap between fantasies and realities, relationship patters, divorce, abuse, childhood pain, sprituality, feeling like a fraud, growing older, and daily struggles looking in the mirror. Once upon a time and happily ever after take on new meaning as the women's stories reveal the underside of fairytales and toxic popular culture. Written in the first-person with language taken directly from each woman's interviews, the stories are raw, visceral, and inspirational. As a collection, the stories and art set you on an emotional rollercoaster and illustrate the different forms \"low-fat love\" may take, and the quest for self-worth in the context of popular culture that tells women they are never enough. The authors developed an original method of \"textual visual snapshots\" for this book.\"--Back cover.
