Aus dem Klappentext

In the world of cholesterol, even the best arteries can get clogged. Charlotte Rice's character, Licorice Angelheart is the heroine of CREEPING APHRODITE. Licorice wants to be an English professor, but for now has to be content working in a hospital as a unit clerk. She is cultured, well-read and has a vocabulary to the extent which would constipate Webster. Licorice wants a man to help her escape living under the roof of her lawyer father and bacchic step-mother, both of whom do not recognize Licorice as a worthy human being because she is morbidly obese. She lives in a small town, where the beernut is a natural element and the cigarette is the national pasttime of the man with the blue collar and the red neck. Her treks to the Habitual Victual, the corner grocery store, and her aspirations of finishing her master's degree and pursuing her doctorate give Licorice hope of a fulfilled life.
