This book examines contemporary mainstream cultural "discourses," or stories, of obesity. The official "personal responsibility" obesity discourse does not resonate with the populace, prompting a number of competing discourses and practices. The tensions engaged in these stories reflect contested notions of authenticity, reflecting a broader crisis in neoliberalism.

Reflecting her combination of dry humour and observation, this is an omnibus edition of the American Helene Hanff's five autobiographical books - Underfoot in Showbusiness, 84 Charing Cross Road, The Duchess of Bloomsbury Street, Apple of My Eye and Q's Legacy.
Eine Hymne auf die Literatur und auf die Freundschaft ist der Briefwechsel zwischen der klugen, kämpferischen New Yorkerin Helene Hanff und den liebenswerten Angestellten eines kleinen Antiquariats in Londons Charing Cross Road. Durch Zufall stößt die amerikanische Bühnenschriftstellerin Helene Hanff Ende der 40er Jahre auf die Adresse eines kleinen Antiquariats in London. Eine neue Quelle für schwer aufzutreibende Bücher? Als sie zur Feder greift, ahnt sie nicht, dass dies der Beginn einer jahrzehntelangen Freundschaft ist. Anfangs dreht sich die Korrespondenz zwischen ihr und dem Antiquar Frank Doel und seinen Angestellten allein um die gemeinsame Leidenschaft für Bücher. Doch mit der Zeit werden die Briefe persönlicher. Helene erzählt von ihrem Alltag in New York, schickt Care-Pakete nach London, wo die Lebensmittel noch knapp sind. Im Gegenzug erhält sie wertvolle Erstausgaben. Schließlich erreichen die Briefe eine Vertrautheit, wie man sie nur zwischen wirklich guten Freunden findet. Mit "84, Charing Cross Road" hat Hanff dieser außergewöhnlichen Freundschaft ein Denkmal gesetzt und gleichzeitig ein einzigartiges Zeitdokument der 50er und 60er Jahre geschaffen.
