Report

A potent and unsettling piece of social philosophy... As a polemic, Unshrinking works. Manne's case for the harmfulness of fatphobia is compelling. But the book's greatest strength is its author's personal narrative and the sense of justified grievance that runs through the prose like a line of fire... Unshrinking demonstrates amply the importance of aspiring to care a little less about the unruly behaviour of our irrepressible flesh Times Literary Supplement
