Gardner spent four years on Fat City and it shows. The prose is moving with stunning observations like out the window there were "pigeons the color of the street." A story about failure, false hopes, masculinity, and pride, Fat City breaks the heart with achingly eloquent words. It's not a feel-good book but it has influenced many writers for good reason. Apparently you should stay away from the movie.
4.75/5
