Everywhere we look at lately – television, social media, news sites and fashion magazines, government policy, etc. – we see fat women being (re)presented, discussed and marketed (at). In popular romance there is a similar proliferation of fat representation. Is the genre promoting body inclusivity; co-opting a popular commercial trend; reflecting the wider culture?
After you RSVP to our Romance Reading Group session (and you should, it’ll be awesome!) we’ll send you a few extracts and some questions to consider for our discussion. If you have time to read, great, but come along anyway. The excerpts are short and you can skim during our chat.
Hope to see you on 18th!
