In Foxbaby, Alma Porch, aspiring dramatist, agrees to teach a course in Trinity College's "Better Body Through the Arts" summer program for overweight women. There she's surrounded by starving matrons, orgies of sex and gluttony, and a motley array of staff and students eager to improve their minds and diminish their flesh by acting in her play, Foxybaby.
I find that this author has a very delicate way of exploring undelicate subjects. THe main character is a writer, and that is obvious by the imagination she showes. Often when someone is talking to her, she will picture a scene in her mind, with the person in question playing the leading role. Although i feel this book approaches problems in a brilliant way, the only problem is that the author doesnt carry them out to their full potential.
