Fat boys : a slim book

by Sander L. Gilman

This study examines the cultural representation of the fat man in Western history, exploring how figures ranging from Falstaff to Babe Ruth shape perceptions of the male body. It analyses how these portrayals reflect evolving social attitudes towards health and masculinity.
