Description
In this hilarious and poignant memoir, the author provides readers with an honest and often mischievous look at his working-class childhood in Midwestern America. This intimate, biting look at a transient family covers two states, five grade schools, 210 pounds, and a lifetime of insecurity. The author hopes to be the hero of his own story, but he is a fat boy who breaks kids' noses in karate and has fantasies of living in a nudist camp with his kindergarten teacher. He saves his family at age four but unwittingly commits a felony at age eight. From an explosive night living in an Illinois trailer park to tumultuous father-son bonding at the flea market, the author gives the skinny on life being fat. In the end, remembering one's bitter past can, in fact, be sweet.
