Description
By the author of Things No One Will Tell Fat Girls and a heroine of the body image movement, an intimate, gutsy memoir about being a fat woman.
Jes Baker burst onto the body positivity scene when she created her own ads mocking Abercrombie and Fitch for discriminating against all body types - a move that landed her on the Today show and garnered a loyal following for her raw, honest, and attitude-filled blog missives.
Building on the manifesta power of Things, this memoir goes deeply into Jes' inner life, from growing up a fat girl to dating while fat. With material that will have listeners laughing and crying along with Jes' experience, this new book is a natural fit with her irreverent, open-book style.
A deeply personal take, Landwhale is a glimpse at life as a fat woman today, but it's also a reflection of the unforgiving ways our culture still treats fatness, all with Jes' biting voice as the guide.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"Jes Baker's words are ointment for the soul. I want to give this book to every person who's ever struggled with their body and its place in this world. Read this book. Thank me later." (Julie Murphy, number one New York Times best-selling author of Dumplin ')
"It's tempting to call Jes Baker 'fearless,' but to do so would diminish her profound capacity for vulnerability and, by extension, her strength. The thing that makes Jes such a force is that she is so brave, so funny, so blazing, so herself, even in the face of fear. I do not know what we would do without her." (Lindy West, New York Times best-selling author of Shrill)
"With the perfect tidal wave of humor and candid emotion, Jes once again shows me how to not only love my own body, but every body around me, as well. It's as if she's written Landwhale about the daily complicated love affair I have in my skin, and I'll never stop reading it. All women, at all stages of their journey, must read this book!" (Brittany Gibbons, New York Times best-selling author of Fat Girl Walking and The Clothes Make the Girl (Look Fat)?)

Honest, insightful, many things I had not yet realized for myself
Jess has a unique way of seeing life and an entertaining way of writing/speaking about vulnerable topics. I learned about myself by listening to her book and I’m grateful for
Her insights and lessons of self compassion and body liberation❤️

I love it!
This book, while covering lots of challenging issues, was presented in a fun and easy to listen to way. I really liked this audio book and was so glad Jes delivered it in her own voice. #Audible1

So much love and respect for Jes
I’m not sure if there’s anything more affirming then hearing someone else’s story and finding the parallels in your own. I can honestly say I laughed and cried and have fallen in love with Jes even more. Thank you Jes for your vulnerability and speaking truth for those who haven’t and may never find their voice. xoxo
