Like an artful comedienne, journalist Seligson, a self-avowedly well-endowed woman, wittily recounts her experiences as she anecdotally examines 'what breasts mean to their bearers as well as their beholders.'...Seligson's candid observations turn hilarious as she visits a workaholic editor for Busty Beauties magazine and searches for the Guinness-record-holder for breast size, one Maxi Mounds...Seligson's earthy merriment and compassionate humor triumph as she surefootedly tours a subject bound to elicit strong feelings., As Seligson puts it, 'Everybody loves to talk about boobs'...though few do so with the humor, poignancy, smarts and insight Seligson mixes artfully throughout chapters that examine the importance of the breast in our culture...Breezy and informative., On location in L.A., [Seligson] manages to be both sympathetic and funny in profiles of the creator of Busty Beauties and of plastic surgeon Robert Rey, cable TV's Dr. 90210. Her pilgrimage to Las Vegas in search of 156MMM dancer Maxi Mounds has an entertaining Waiting for Godot quality, and it's informative to boot: Who knew that polyprolene string was the implant material of choice for the 'macro-boob sorority'?, While we're at it, we might banish a couple of self-image anxieties. "Breasts are by far the most emotionally fraught and irksome of body parts, " Susan Seligson writes in her recent book Stacked: A 32DDD Reports from the Front ." "I remember those years of painful self-consciousness, when I felt as if my boobs were on their way to taking over the rest of me, like a form of kudzu," she says. But at 51, she notes "I have tome to accept, embrace, and even adore them...They suit me now more than ever, at a time in my life when I feel confident and sexy but don't take myself--or them--too seriously., I always thought beautiful breasts were there just to behold and hold, but Susan Seligson set me straight. Breasts are there to write about. I don't know how adolescents will take to Stacked, but we Golden Agers are here to take the turns on the trip she offers., Praise forGoing with the Grain: A Wandering Bread Lover Takes a Bite Out of Life: "Seligson is a deliciously entertaining guide. Her palpable enthusiasm translates into stories spiced with rich detail and witty commentary."-Christian Science Monitor "Fascinating…funny…[Seligson] keeps her attention focused outward, driven by a curiosity about places and people, what makes them work and what matters to them. She seems to be interested in everything…Just as others become Seligson's invaluable guides into the world of bread, she becomes ours."-BostonGlobe "Serious stuff, but Seligson leavens this offering with keen observations and a wicked sense of humor…As smart and evocative as it often is laugh-out-loud funny."-Publishers Weekly(starred review), Stacked answers the question 'Why do women have nipples?' so wittily and thoroughly, let's hope it's the beginning of the Seligson Series of examinations of body parts. Next stop: the Mound of Venus., A petite woman naturally endowed with large breasts, humor writer Susan Seligson had only to look down to find the subject of her next book...In Stacked , Seligson has written an entertaining treatise on America's breast obsession., "A good-natured examination of the breast question...Seligson...[is] a dazzlingly good sport... Stacked is on the side of right--a celebration, neither prudish or depraved, of 'female orbs' in all their hypnotic glory." -- New York Times Book Review "A petite woman naturally endowed with large breasts, humor writer Susan Seligson had only to look down to find the subject of her next book...In Stacked , Seligson has written an entertaining treatise on America's breast obsession." -- Boston Globe "Bearing a suitably overstuffed quiver of mammary synonyms (Seligson deserves some sort of lifetime-achievement award for elegant variation), her book is an entertaining... tour of plastic-surgery clinics, exotic-dancing trade shows, and the national bedroom." -- Atlantic Monthly "Witty and illuminating." -- Philadelphia Inquirer "While we're at it, we might banish a couple of self-image anxieties.
