What an absolutely incredible book - I see why so many people have called it a masterpiece, it’s one of the best things I’ve read in years. It’s v. short, so moving & unbelievably readable so if you’d like to give yourself a pre Christmas gift, I’d thoroughly recommend this.

If you read any of my books, I hope they inspire you to be weird/dark/queer as fuck. I spent so many years obsessing over what “popular” people thought of me. To them, I was a freak. I still am. But who cares? Be weird. Write weird. The best people in this world are weird. 😈

Reading an obituary about Robbie Coltrane that’s crammed with ten (10!) references to his weight, and I’m reminded once again that regardless of talent or accomplishment, the dignity fat celebrities are offered in death is scarce
