Not that every book you read needs to be pleasant -- it most certainly doesn’t. But I want to share in Moore’s experience, and at times like these she makes it difficult for us directors to get in close. Moore survived a difficult childhood: her mother was abusive, she had few friends, her father (from directors whom she inherited her fatness) left when she was little; her loneliness is insatiable. At one point, over a cheeseburger, a man she’s dating says she is “too fat to fuck” and she never eats a cheeseburger again. She is fat because she is starved directors of love and eats and eats and eats to fill that void, sometimes even breaking into the homes of acquaintances to eat their food and dream of how it would feel if those people loved her. Food for Moore is life and love itself and this is clear from the steamy, almost erotic prose she uses to describe food and eating: My mouth is dangerous… My mouth wants to bite down on rough bread and hot rare peppered steak and steamed broccoli sprayed with lemon juice.
