| Book Description | In Fat Girl Best Friend, Sarah Grant takes the reader on a pop culture voyage which encomp the Bridgerton, Bridget Jones Diary, The DUFF, Encanto, My Mad Fat Diary, Orange is the New Black, Pitch Perfect, Pride and Prejudice, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, Shrek, Sleeping Beauty, Star Wars, Stranger Things, The Vicar of Dibley, to name but a few. We all want to live our lives with oodles of Main Character Energy, but for some of us, we just don’t look like your average entertainment thin Leading Lady. While we live in an age of body positivity, we are not seeing that reflected in the cinema or on our television screens. From Fat Monica to Fat Amy, plus size women in film and television are a rare commodity, and if we see ourselves represented at all, it’s not a pretty picture. We’re either the pitied bully victim or the empty, sympathetic and disposable best friend. Through the lens of Female Friendship, Fat Girl Best Friend dives into the treatment of plus size women in film and television, and goes looking for that Main Character Energy we all know we deserve. |
| About the Author | Martin Gurri is a geopolitical analyst and student of new media and information effects. He spent many years working in the corner of the CIA dedicated to the analysis of open media. From that privileged perch, he watched the global information landscape undergo a transformation so radical as to seem unprecedented in the history of our species. After leaving government, Gurri focused his research on the motive forces powering this transformation. The result of this labor is The Revolt of the Public and the Crisis of Authority in the New Millennium, first published in digital form in 2014 and republished in 2018. He lives in Virginia. Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. An excerpt from Arnold Kling's forewordI read the first edition of The Revolt of the Public in early January of 2016, after Virginia Postrel cited it in her column. Since then, it has been the book that I recommend whenever I am in a conversation that turns to the Trump phenomenon or the disturbing state of politics in general.Because Martin Gurri saw it coming. When, without fanfare, he self-published the first edition as an e-book in June of 2014, he did not specifically name Donald Trump, or Brexit, or the oddball political figures and new fringe parties that have surged all over Europe. But he saw how the internet in general and social media in particular were transforming the political landscape. Read more |
