Fat Swim

With a brash and stylish voice, Emma Copley Eisenberg examines the contradictions, joys, and violence of a modern world shaped by looking and watching.

Stories feature a young girl learning about her changing body from fat women at a pool, a fat makeup vlogger's friendship with a middle schooler, a retiree understanding her nonbinary child's life, and a trans librarian assisting a sci-fi writer.

Characters dance in and out of each other's lives, culminating in a reality-bending finale, reminding us we can't leave our bodies behind.
