"Her [Shriver's] best work--"Big Brother" is her twelfth novel--presents characters so fully formed that they inhabit her ideas rather than trumpet them."--"New Republic"
""Big Brother" is vintage Shriver - observant, unsettling, funny, but also, as Pandora admits, 'Very, very sad.'"--"Miami Herald"
"The moving (and shocking) finale will have you thinking about the 'byzantine emotional mathematics' we all put ourselves through when overwhelmed with family responsibilities."--Oprah.com
"Lionel Shriver's "Big Brother" has the muscle to overpower its readers. It is a conversation piece of impressive heft."--"New York Times"
"Would I recommend "Big Brother"? Absolutely. It confronts the touchy subject of American lard exuberantly and intelligently; it makes you think about what you put in your mouth and why."--"Bloomberg"
"Pandora is a masterly creation."--"New York Times Book Review"
"A surprising sledgehammer of a novel"--"The Times" (London)
"A gutsy, heartfelt novel"--"Sunday Times" (London)
As a writer, Shriver s talents are many: She s especially skilled at playing with readers s reflexes for sympathy and revulsion, never letting us get too comfortable with whatever firm understanding we think we have of a character. --"Washington Post""
The moving (and shocking) finale will have you thinking about the byzantine emotional mathematics we all put ourselves through when overwhelmed with family responsibilities. --Oprah.com"
Big Brother is a striking novel about siblings, marriage, and obesity from Lionel Shriver, the acclaimed author the international bestseller We Need to Talk About Kevin.
For Pandora, cooking is a form of love. Alas, her husband, Fletcher, a self-employed high-end cabinetmaker, now spurns the “toxic” dishes that he’d savored through their courtship, and spends hours each day to manic cycling. Then, when Pandora picks up her older brother Edison at the airport, she doesn’t recognize him. In the years since they’ve seen one another, the once slim, hip New York jazz pianist has gained hundreds of pounds. What happened? After Edison has more than overstayed his welcome, Fletcher delivers his wife an ultimatum: It’s him or me.
Rich with Shriver’s distinctive wit and ferocious energy, Big Brother is about fat: an issue both social and excruciatingly personal. It asks just how much sacrifice we'll make to save single members of our families, and whether it's ever possible to save loved ones from themselves.
