Foxybaby (Karen and Michael Braziller Books)

Rediscovered: a witty and sophisticated classic by one of Australia's most daring and entertaining novelists. 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.
