Synopses & Reviews

Please note that used books may not include additional media (study guides, CDs, DVDs, solutions manuals, etc.) as described in the publisher comments.

Publisher Comments:

Most cultures ostracize people who do not fit within their norms. They pressure abnormal people to change their appearance, fix what bothers others, or stay out of sight — a pressure Leslie Fiedler has named "The Tyranny of the Normal". This anthology examines the experiences of those who live outside social norms for attractiveness, size, and shape; it also explores the reactions of "normal" people to those who seem grotesque.

Book News Annotation:

Articles, essays, excerpts from books, stories, poetry, and drama explore the experience of people who are outside the norm for attractiveness, size, or shape, and the reactions of those within to those who seem grotesque. Among the authors are Leslie Fiedler, Franz Kafka, Ray Bradbury, Edgar Allen Poe, Toni Morrison, John Updike, Flannery O'Conner, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Victor Hugo, and Eudora Welty.
