HarperCollins Publishers Inc Blossoms and Bones
Book SynopsisTrade Review“Blossoms and Bones describes what it’s like to have an eating disorder in a way I’ve never seen described before—the sudden, out-of-the-blue obsession with food and the sudden inability to recognize oneself through the obsession. Krans is a powerful storyteller: she is intuitive and direct in her words and drawings. In describing this thing that I’ve never seen described, she's taken the power of shame away from it for me—and, I hope, also for herself.” — Liana Finck, cartoonist and author of Excuse Me “I wish we all could make books like this: like if a wail could be tender, and if a scribble could contain all of humanity’s language. This book amazes.” — Tom Hart, New York Times bestselling author of Rosalie Lightning “Required reading for anyone who needs to move through hard times and find the light within us all.” — Tommy Rosen, author of Recovery 2.0 “Shocking and compassionate images that produce remarkable insights and eventually crack the bones of sorrow to release the eternal buds of renewal.” — Michael Meade, author of The Genius Myth “A revelation...a vast landscape of forgiveness, truth and possibility.” — Elena Brower, bestselling author of Practice You "Kim's message is so moving—and incredibly important at this time, when so many people are struggling with disordered eating, addiction, and limiting beliefs. In Blossoms and Bones, Kim combines honest, vulnerable storytelling with beautiful, arresting artwork to create an inspiring and completely original memoir." — Gabrielle Bernstein, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Universe Has Your Back “A combination diary and sketchbook, Krans’s depiction of her 40 days spent at an ashram recovering from an eating disorder, divorce, and multiple miscarriages is raw and, for anyone who’s wrestled the demons of perfectionism, intensely relatable....Krans’s work literally pushes the boundaries of the page. The result is vulnerable and experimental.” — Publishers Weekly “Krans communicates far beyond the text…using drawing and lettering styles that range from precise and elegant to sketchy and unsettling. Readers who surrender to the hallucinatory feel and flow of this will be rewarded.” — Booklist

Penguin Books Ltd Unshrinking
Book SynopsisNATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST ''Required reading for everyone who lives in an unruly human body... elegant, fierce, and profound'' Roxane GaySize discrimination harms everyone. Acclaimed philosopher Kate Manne shows how to combat it.For as long as she can remember, Kate Manne has wanted to be smaller. She can tell you what she weighed on any significant occasion: her wedding day, the day she became a professor, the day her daughter was born. She''s been bullied and belittled for her size, leading to extreme dieting. As a feminist philosopher, she wanted to believe that she was exempt from the cultural gaslighting that compels so many of us to ignore our hunger. But she was not.Blending intimate stories with trenchant analysis, Manne shows why fatphobia matters, now more than ever. Over the last decades, bias has waned in every category except one: body size. Here she examines how anti-fatness operates how it leads us to make devastating assumptions about a person''s attractiveness, fortitude and intellect, and how it intersects with other systems of oppression. Fatphobia is responsible for wage gaps, medical neglect and poor educational outcomes. It is a straitjacket, restricting our freedom, our movement, our potential. Fatphobia is a social justice issue.In this urgent call to action, Manne proposes a new politics of body reflexivity' -- a radical re-evaluation of who our bodies exist in the world for: ourselves and no one else. When it comes to fatphobia, the solution is not to love our bodies more. Instead, we must dismantle the forces that control and constrain us, and remake the world to accommodate people of every size. Trade ReviewRequired reading for everyone who lives in an unruly human body. Manne has crafted an elegant, fierce, and profound argument for fighting fat oppression in ourselves, our communities, our culture -- Roxane GayAn essential book of impossible-to-overstate importance, Unshrinking is a lucid, vital addition to the fat canon -- Carmen Maria MachadoA clarion call for fat people to be liberated * Mail on Sunday *A vital social justice issue ... Kate Manne's words will make you feel anger at how fatphobia has harmed the minds and bodies of so many * Psychologies *Trust Kate Manne to provide the clearest statement of the problems of the twenty-first century. She shows us, through science, reason, and human experience, the moral failure of fatphobia, in direct contradiction of the widespread and toxic narrative of fatness as a moral failing -- Emily NagoskiA tour de force that only someone with Kate Manne's particular mix of rigor, clarity, and writerly skill could pull off—a must-read, no matter your body size, and an unignorable call to action -- Anne Helen PetersonKate Manne lays bare the sinister power of fatphobia—its pervasiveness, its roots in anti-Blackness, its shoddy logic—and argues beautifully and clearly for the moral necessity to resist it. Both trenchant and moving, Unshrinking is a long overdue reckoning and a manifesto for true intersectionality -- Kimberlé CrenshawAs someone raised in the era of 'nothing tastes as good as skinny feels,' I am beyond grateful to Kate Manne for ushering in the era of Unshrinking. This book is a tasty, tasty takedown of diet culture and a firm-but-gentle guide to finally getting free from fatphobia - individually, collectively, and within society at large. Is it too much to say that Manne has written a big, fat masterpiece? -- Jessica DeFinoTo be fat in a thin-obsessed world is to be treated as a moral failure all the time. Through impeccable research, compelling writing, and refreshing honesty, Unshrinking undoes so much of that undeserved shame. . . . A rich text for the ages, one we should all read, especially if we desire to create a world that treats fat people with more dignity and less disdain than this one -- Evette DionneIf you have ever struggled to feel safe in your body as it is; if you have ever wondered who your body is for, Manne has articulated the answers: Our bodies belong to us. We are all better for her work -- Virginia Sole-SmithAn intimate and razor-sharp examination of fatphobia to expose the gaslighting, double standards and conditioning behind size discrimination. Manne’s new framework of “body reflexivity” offers valuable new ways and words to fight the existing power structures of fat oppression * Ms. Magazine *

St Martin's Press Whats Eating Us
Book SynopsisWhat's Eating Us is a feat of reporting in the hope of helping people repair their relationship with their bodies and food. ShondalandBlending personal narrative and investigative reporting, Emmy Award-winning journalist Cole Kazdin reveals that disordered eating is an epidemic crisis killing millions of women.Women of all ages struggle with disordered eating, preoccupation with food, and body anxiety. Journalist Cole Kazdin was one such woman, and she set out to discover why her own full recovery from an eating disorder felt so impossible. Interviewing women across the country as well as the world's most renowned researchers, she discovered that most people with eating disorders never receive treatmentthe fact that she did made her one of the lucky ones. Kazdin takes us to the doorstep of the diet industry and research community, exposing the flawed systems that claim to be helping us, and revealing disordereTrade ReviewPraise for Cole Kazdin: "As much a personal story as an examination of body anxiety...Kazdin's painful honesty is leavened with humor and irony." --Kirkus (starred review) "A must read. Kazdin recounts her own struggle, and surrounds it with robust research and stories on the incredible prevalence and toll of body dissatisfaction, preoccupation with food, and eating disorders. She beautifully and tragically encapsulates how almost all of us are negatively affected by the toxic diet culture that we live in, how that makes full recovery so elusive to most, and how we can start to fight back." --Kristina Saffran, co-founder and CEO of Equip Health and co-founder of Project HEAL "What's Eating Us takes seriously the lethality of eating disorders, a fact that is distressingly absent from most of the discourse on the subject. With disarming honesty and sparkling wit, Kazdin shares her own history with disordered eating, setting it alongside the experience of women she interviewed across the country. What the stories collectively demonstrate is that while the billion dollar diet industry will never have our backs, there is hope in new treatments and in stories like Kazdin's. What's Eating Us is a vital contribution to the literature on disordered eating, and a must-read for anyone hungry for real data and hard-boiled hope on the subject of eating, diets, and wellness." --Christie Tate, New York Times bestselling author of Group "You think you know everything about dieting and food disorders and then this book comes along! The picture Kazdin paints is shocking. If you think this does not apply to you, you should know that ninety percent of women in America are dissatisfied with their bodies. In fact, this dissatisfaction is so prevalent scientists have called it "normative discontent". So, there is a ninety percent chance the information in this book applies to you. You will find that diets don't work--they are designed to fail and then the companies have repeat customers. Kazdin explores why huge amounts of government and private money goes into the "obesity epidemic", but hardly any goes into eating disorders. This is a lively and informative book." --Catherine Gildiner, author of Good Morning Monster "Kazdin courageously practices radical honesty in sharing her experience with an eating disorder. Honesty does to eating disorders what water did to the Wicked Witch of the West--it melts them. Otherwise they terrorize you and hold you hostage. Eating disorders are messy. Fessing up to that mess is the first step in putting the pieces back together." --Cynthia Bulik, Distinguished Professor of Eating Disorders, University of North Carolina
