Representation is a powerful thing. It can help shape who we are, who we aspire to be, and how we view the world around us. It can also give us a stronger sense of self and affirmation of identity. Though fat bodies are finally starting to find their way into mainstream media, we must continue to strive for more diversity and positive representation. Over 150 fatties from around the world contributed to "The Little Book of Big Babes" in an effort to provide a more diverse picture of fatness and fatshion. It is our hope that this book will inspire others, break down fat stereotypes, and change negative attitudes toward fat people.

From the New York Times bestselling author of A Million Little Pieces and Bright Shiny Morning comes Katerina, James Frey’s highly anticipated new novel set in 1992 Paris and contemporary Los Angeles. A kiss, a touch. A smile and a beating heart. Love and sex and dreams, art and drugs and the madness of youth. Betrayal and heartbreak, regret and pain, the melancholy of age. Katerina, the explosive new novel by America’s most controversial writer, is a sweeping love story alternating between 1992 Paris and Los Angeles in 2018. At its center are a young writer and a young model on the verge of fame, both reckless, impulsive, addicted, and deeply in love. Twenty-five years later, the writer is rich, famous, and numb, and he wants to drive his car into a tree, when he receives an anonymous message that draws him back to the life, and possibly the love, he abandoned years prior. Written in the same percussive, propulsive, dazzling, breathtaking style as A Million Little Pieces, Katerina echoes and complements that most controversial of memoirs, and plays with the same issues of fiction and reality that created, nearly destroyed, and then recreated James Frey in the American imagination.
