{"product_id":"manstealing-for-fat-girls-9781933368023","title":"Manstealing for Fat Girls","description":"This off-kilter novel centers on three girls who are definitely not part of the in crowd: one's fat, one's a dyke, and one is missing a breast. Nicknamed \"Lezzylard\" by her classmates, Angie is seduced by the prettiest girl in school, an anorexic who just wants to make imaginary grocery lists. Inez, the school's pot dealer, can't shoplift because security guards are mesmerized by her single enormous breast. Shelby and Angie can't be together, because then everyone will think Angie's only a dyke because she's too fat to get a guy. \u003ci\u003eManstealing for Fat Girls\u003c\/i\u003e explodes the locus where patriarchal and class violence intersect, while embracing all that is magical -- and dangerous -- about adolescence. Set in a working class suburb of St. Louis in the 1980s, the book is replete with music and pop culture references of the era, but the bullying, lunch table treachery, and desperate desire to fit in ring true for every generation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Soft Skull Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781933368023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.06h x 4.98w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Lambda Literary Awards - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/15\/2005 pg. 31\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIngram Advance\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2005 pg. 89\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2005 pg. 31\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/15\/2005 pg. 753\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2006 pg. 148\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Michelle Embree","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40292463214773,"sku":"9781933368023","price":12.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_2e792065-5007-4a1b-add6-5f3ac8f0e16f.jpg?v=1624331807","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/manstealing-for-fat-girls-9781933368023","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
