- Synopsis
- Fat Girls and Lawn Chairs, Peck's debut collection of funny personal essays and poems, covers her unique childhood and her life as a chubby lesbian. In the title story, Peck describes how she came to determine that "no self-respecting fat girl ever really trusts a lawn chair", and in "Wounded in Action", describes her hilarious adventures in softball, where she recounts how she ran "with the grace and delicacy of perhaps a hippopotamus". Some narratives are even told by Peck's cat, Babycakes.
