Dear Mr. Pinkwater:

I’ve been working my way through ‘Afterlife Diet’. Not my favorite by you, which is actually pretty high praise, but I can see your point(s). I’m fat, too.

Check this URL out. What’s the deal here–more fat hostility???

What are we going to do about this terriple posing?

Thanks for the laughs,

Mike

How would you get the fat man over the guard-rail on the bridge? Afterlife Diet--I was in a bad mood when I wrote it. I just wanted to be on record as having written the first Novel-of-Fattitude, or Schmalzroman in modern times. Sorry it stinks. I blame the editor.
