-Stunning...As you watch Lizzie navigate fraught relationships -- with food, men, girlfriends, her parents and even with herself -- you'll want to grab a friend and say: 'Whoa. This. Exactly.'- --Washington Post -A hilarious, heartbreaking book.- --People Named one of the best books of the year by NPR, The Atlantic, Time Out New York, and The Globe and MailGrowing up in the suburban hell of Misery Saga (a.k.a. Mississauga), Lizzie has never liked the way she looks--even though her best friend Mel says she's the pretty one. She starts dating guys online, but she's afraid to send pictures, even when her skinny friend China does her makeup: she knows no one would want her if they could really see her. So she starts to lose. With punishing drive, she counts almonds consumed, miles logged, pounds dropped. She fights her way into coveted dresses. She grows up and gets thin, navigating double-edged validation from her mother, her friends, her husband, her reflection in the mirror. But no matter how much she loses, will she ever see herself as anything other than a fat girl? In her brilliant, hilarious, and at times shocking debut, Mona Awad simultaneously skewers the body image-obsessed culture that tells women they have no value outside their physical appearance, and delivers a tender and moving depiction of a lovably difficult young woman whose life is hijacked by her struggle to conform. As caustically funny as it is heartbreaking, 13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl introduces a vital new voice in fiction. FINALIST FOR THE GILLER PRIZE WINNER OF THE AMAZON CANADA FIRST NOVEL AWARD NAMED ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF 2016 BY ELLE, BUSTLE, AND THE GLOBE AND MAIL NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE MONTH BY THE HUFFINGTON POST, BUSTLE AND BOOKRIOT FINALIST FOR THE COLORADO BOOK AWARD FOR LITERARY FICTIONmehr

Inhalt/Kritik

Kritik
"A painfully raw-and bitingly funny-debut . . . [Lizzie] gets under your skin, and she stays there. Beautifully constructed; a devastating novel but also a deeply empathetic one."
- Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"Assured and terrific."
- Publishers Weekly

"Touching....Behind the title of Awad's sharp first book, a unique novel in 13 vignettes, is brazen-voiced Lizzie, who longs for, tests, and prods the deep center of the cultural promise that thinness, no matter how one achieves it, is the prerequisite for happiness."
- Booklist

"Mona Awad writes exactly what you're thinking, and that's one of the many reasons you're going to love her debut...[ 13 Ways ] announces her as a writer with real insight not only to the mind, but also to the heart."
-Bustle.com

"This book sparkles with wit and at the same time comes across as so transparent and genuine-Awad knows how to talk about the raw struggles of female friendships, sex, contact, humanness, and her voice is a wry celebration of all of this at once."
-Aimee Bender, author of The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake

"Hilarious and cutting . . . Mona Awad has a gift for turning the every day strange and luminous, for finding bright sparks of humor in the deepest dark. She is a strikingly original and strikingly talented new voice."
-Laura van den Berg, author of Find Me and The Isle of Youth

"Luminous....full of sharp insight and sly humor....It seems that Mona Awad can describe the imperfect nature of any love perfectly: whether it's love between friends, between mother and daughter, husband and wife, woman and food."
-Katherine Heiny, author of Single, Carefree, Mellow

"Remarkable . . . committed to the most honest and painful portrayal and comprehension of what it means to be human, with all its flaws and joys."
-Brian Evenson, author of Fugue State and Immobility

"I loved this book!"
- Molly Antopol, author of The UnAmericansmehr
