Meg Elison


Big Girl

Big Girl

Outspoken Authors: Book 25

Meg Elison

Meg Elison is one of the fearless "bad girls" in science fiction, fantasy, and transgressive humor. She is an iconoclast, using a caustic new talent to spotlight hitherto off-limits subjects like gender roles, body shaming, female oppression, and political correctness.

Table of Contents:

  • "El Hugé" (2017) reveals how small-town, small-time teens can accomplish Big Ugly Things on their own.
  • "Big Girl" (2017) chronicles the media's fascination with the towering anxieties of a sixty-foot tall teen.
  • "The Pill" is the collection's previously unpublished centerpiece, which celebrates a "miracle cure" for obesity that sends society to a grimly delightful new utopia.
  • "With Such People in It" is also new to readers, and welcomes us to a brave new world where cowardice is a virtue.
  • "Gone with Gone with the Wind" (2018) is a nonfiction analysis of privilege, denial, literary classics, and personal honesty.
  • "Afterimage" is a one-way trip into a VR world that's more "real" than our own.
  • "Guts" is about just what its title suggests: this volume's characteristically frank and thought-provoking Outspoken Interview.
