Praise for Jenefer Shute's Life-Size:
"Beautiful, terrifying and marvelously written. The miracle of Life-Sizeis its transcendence of its subject, so that it becomes a novel about the humanneed to control the uncontrollable world, or makes us ask ourselves thosenecessary questions: What is the self? And if we lost it, how can we find itagain? This luminous, horrifying and elegantly written book about a womanstarving in both mind and body is absolutely unique."
--Susan Fromberg Schaeffer
"This novel may be brutal, but its rewards are many. Shute writes withvividness and bleak wit, and does not allow us the easy way out...Atranscendent work of fiction."
--Washington Post
"Chilling...Shute brilliantly captures the torment and self-loathing of abody-obsessed person."
--People
