![]() ![]() ![]() Instead of turning her sharp, acerbic eye on the internal ups and downs of recovery and coming out, however, Broder largely focuses on Rachel's outward expressions of desire. She captures all the sticky sweetness, the pleasurable tensions between yearning and satiation. When it comes to both sex and food, Broder is a formidable writer. Her desire marks the beginning of a major internal shift for Rachel-an acceptance, of sorts, of both fatness and queerness. Rachel is immediately drawn to Miriam, who is "undeniably.irrefutably fat" and unabashedly kind. While ignoring her mother's increasingly unhinged texts, Rachel meets Miriam, an Orthodox Jewish woman whose family owns Rachel's favorite frozen yogurt shop chain. At the behest of her therapist, Rachel finally attempts to set firmer boundaries with her mother and parent herself. Rachel's mother feared "future pain, frightened that I would grow up to be like her parents, whose obesity had caused her shame, or her fat cousin Wendy, who was unhappy." As a result, adult Rachel counts calories, allowing herself only squares of nicotine gum, diet snack foods, chemical sweeteners, and a sad procession of salads. "I was softly plump, like a dumpling," recalls Rachel of her childhood. ![]() ![]() Thanks to her mother's strict training, Rachel is obsessed with staying thin. In Melissa Broder's follow-up to The Pisces (2018), a young talent manager struggles to transform her relationship to desire. ![]()

He also has no idea that he will be in the company of murderers, rapists, psychopaths, and social misfits. Sumner has no inkling that what he really has done is throw his lot in with professional criminals who intend to scuttle the ship in the north waters off England and collect the maritime insurance. The surgeon hoards a good supply of drugs with the goal of enjoying a chemical holiday while he writes poetry in a kind of blissed-out escape from reality. After leaving India where he had been stationed by the British colonial health system during a time of great unrest, Sumner signs up for a stint with the Volunteer, a sealing/whaling ship whose mission is to collect as much blubber and seal fur as possible for the European energy markets. The North Water by Ian McGuire, a historical fiction/thriller, is told from an omniscient narrator focusing on the point of view of a ship's surgeon, Patrick Sumner, who is the protagonist.

He hands over this movie to his subject's desire for the same truth found in documentaries he loved. James owes his career to Ebert, who championed his 1994 breakout Hoop Dreams.
