Posted byRobert K Stephen (CSW)Posted inliteratureTags:, , , , ,

“Fat slob this, fat slob that. You hear that all the time. You’re like me: a clean fat. I could tell that right off. Why do you think I let you stay here?….I see it all the time. The dirtiest, sloppiest girls are the skinny ones. Year after year, the same thing. You can tell who the pigs are going to be just by looking at them. You take Jackie Kennedy. Or Jackie whatever her name is now. I bet you in person she’s a very sloppy person. I bet you any amount of money.”

Wally Lamb, “She’s Come Undone”, 1992.
