Will Klein do for "fat" in this book what he did for cigarettes and tobacco in Cigarettes Are Sublime? That is, will he bring a culture- and literary-based examination to yet another American obsession? Will he do it with fun and fascination as he did before? He stopped smoking to write the first book. Did he have to lose weight to write this one? Inquiring minds want to know. Is this the second in a series? American obsessions . . . can a book on sex be far behind? What will he have to give up . . . or do for that one? Oh well, the cigarettes book was very very good . . . and a delight. This one is, too.
