Dan reviewed Fat and Queer by Miguel M. Morales
Review of 'Fat and Queer' on 'Storygraph'
4 stars
This beautiful anthology has been compiled to include a variety of voices from the queer community. Each piece included shows a glimpse into the identity of the individual and challenges the reader to experience an alternative point of view to their own. As is common with anthologies, there were some pieces that I enjoyed more than others, but I think that is a highlight of reading them, in that there is usually something for everyone included.
Through reading, I had to acknowledge my own fatphobia, and how that contributes to my own feelings of self-worth. It was an eye-opening experience, that I do appreciate. I feel connected to the queer community in a variety of ways, and have never before considered how my body image played a role in this.
