Her research reveals that the novel’s tale of the “Bacchanalian morass of sexual jealousy and gory spectacle” was “nothing but a report on what happened.” In other words, Ernest Hemingway’s famous, career-launching debut novel was essentially gossipy reportage.Īnd yet, subtle authorial movements (readers who know Hemingway’s book will remember how pared-down the language is, how little reflection or interpretation of events the narrator offers) shift the novel into its position as a masterpiece of “The Lost Generation.” As the critic W.

Parts three and four discuss a “new model” of how obesity develops along with some sociological contributors to obesity. Parts one and two discuss how obesity became an epidemic and try to refute what it calls “myths” about obesity. From that beginning premise, the book deconstructs the conventional model of obesity and then re-educates the reader on how we get fat and what to do about it. The Obesity Code (TOC) begins by suggesting that conventional nutrition advice is wrong, and so is the conventional understanding of obesity. ![]() ![]() ![]() I thought the mystery was quite interesting.

The Netflix miniseries Unorthodox is loosely based on the book. In the book, she documents her life in an ultra-religious Jewish community in Brooklyn, New York.

That doesn't work in art, it only works in the sciences," says Feldman. As a member of the strictly religious Satmar sect of Hasidic Judaism, Deborah Feldman grew up.
