Anti-Fat Specific: Man Journeys From Writing to Market Gardening
A literary city resident obsesses over weight and tries market gardening as an anti-fat cure. He spades a 60 by 150 foot lot, waters and digs, but the soil and his efforts fail. He even hires a pretty typewriter to aid his farming, while his weight climbs from 215 to 233 pounds. A whimsical tale of fashionably absurd self-improvement and a fat man’s misadventure in Shadyside.
