Since I wanted to play out that story as realistically as possible, I couldn’t pair him with another star also writing anonymous fan fiction. Can you talk about what inspired you, and how you approached writing a new twist on this familiar story?ĭade: For me, the part of the story I conceived first involved the star of a blockbuster show anonymously writing fan fiction critical of that show and falling in love with his online, also-anonymous BFF. BookPage spoke to Dade and Weatherspoon about their literary inspirations, the joys of fan fiction and fighting for fat positivity in romance.īoth Spoiler Alert and If the Boot Fits complicate the celebrity dating a non-famous person trope-April and Amanda are big, beautiful and smart women dating men who are part of an industry that generally neglects or is hostile to those who don’t fit a narrow mold. ![]() Being catapulted into fame due to their famous beaus is thus far more complicated than it would be for a heroine whose body hewed closer to our society’s restrictive beauty standards. Much of the social commentary in Dade’s Spoiler Alert and Weatherspoon’s If the Boot Fits comes from the fact that both of their heroines are fat. In their new books, Olivia Dade and Rebekah Weatherspoon take on the celebrity romance, reveling in its fizzy escapism and dissecting the perils of public image in equal measure. ![]()

The diversity of fear provides considerable room for other, personally unique fears to become part of the story, slowly rising within the minds of the individual reader. This universally shared fear, rather than being limiting, allows for each reader to personalize the story in ways rarely available in works of fiction. The second, “We fear that which we do not understand, ” is the basic foundation upon which each character, subplot, and description grows. ![]() The first, “Less is more, ” reminds us that a well-written book is one in which the words used are done so in dedication to the story itself, allowing the imaginations of the readers to create for themselves that which is left unsaid.

Given this definition, my proposal is that the literary figure who is most penetrating and expansive on the topic is Fyodor Dostoevsky. ![]() One way of thinking of the modern demonic is that it is marked by an otherness viewed not as a threatening outside, but a shocking inside contributing to the doubling of a self that cannot find ballast and thereby becomes capable of intentional forms of evil far beyond the circumscription of the human flesh and psyche. ![]() 5/23/2023 0 Comments Eva allende book![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() As she shares her stories, she introduces an eccentric cast of characters: the Lebanese émigré who takes her in, her Catholic godmother who believes in saints, a street urchin who grows up to be the leader of the guerrilla struggle, a celebrated trans cabaret star and a young refugee whose flight from postwar Europe will change Eva's life forever.
