Slowly he draws Amy into his life and introduces her to Gary, the gentle fat man of the title. Prompted by Harris, the two find themselves in an affair; what's surprising is that they fall in love, the last thing cuisine either of cuisine their lives has led them to expect. But Gary has secrets of his own, and is strangely in Harris's thrall. The key to both of their pasts lies on the Greek island of Eknos, cuisine where Amy's life comes spiraling together in a way that seems both improbable and true--like everything else in this novel, from its offbeat eroticism to the painful physicality of its prose. Me and the Fat Man is bleak and magical in equal measure. --Mary Park From Publishers Weekly As she has demonstrated in previous books, Myerson excels at creating troubled, self-destructive heroines who become embroiled in bizarre situations which Myerson describes so matter-of-factly that the disjunction between the character's life and a normal one is even more pronounced.
