Résumé
A "stunning, at times shocking collection" (The Boston Globe) of linked stories following a cast of characters navigating bodies, queerness, power, and sex-with radical results-from the bestselling author of Housemates."These interconnected stories blitzed my brain and gut. Prepare to be shaken."-Kiese Laymon, author of Long Division and HeavyA MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2026: Playboy, Literary Hub, Debutiful, LGBTQ Reads, Electric Lit, SheReads/The Stacks, Publishers LunchWith a brash and stylish voice that implicates and confronts the reader, Emma Copley Eisenberg wades into the contradictions, joys, and violence of a modern world shaped by looking and watching, examining how our hungers can both hijack and crack open our lives.
In the title story, a young girl looks to a group of fat women at her local pool to teach her about her changing body. In "Swiffer Girl, " a woman agrees to try for a baby with her partner, only to suddenly find herself haunted by the viral sex video that made the rounds during high school-a video indelibly tied to her own sense of self. In other stories, an obscure fat makeup vlogger's strange friendship with a middle schooler forces her to reflect on her past life at a toxic beauty startup, a boomer retiree tries to understand her nonbinary child's gender and polyamory, and a trans librarian takes a job as assistant to a famous science fiction writer only to find himself screening hookups on his octogenarian employer's behalf.
For better or for worse, these stories counsel, none of us can leave our bodies behind: they remind us what it is to be alive. As the characters in Fat Swim dance into and out of each other's lives-and through and around Philadelphia-they seek connections and experiences that remind them of that fact, culminating in a reality-bending, tour de force finale, "Camp Sensation." Eisenberg, whose fiction "should be studied by every contemporary author as the finest departure from the fatphobic hellscape of fiction that exists" (Electric Literature), has a singular vision, and Fat Swim is her most incisive and provocative work yet.
