Winner of the Autumn House Press Nonfiction Prize, Jennifer Renee Blevins's debut memoir, Limited by Body Habitus: An American Fat Story, sheds light on her experiences living with the emotional and psychological struggles of taking up space in a fat-phobic world.
Bringing together experiences of personal and national trauma, Blevins adeptly weaves the tale of her father's gastric bypass surgery and subsequent prolonged health crisis with the environmental catastrophe of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Blevins looks to each of these events as a leak of American society's pitfalls and shortcomings.
