- Breve biografia
- Judith Moore was born in Stillwater, Oklahoma, and claimed to have become an obese child, weighing 112 pounds, by second grade. She wrote a memoir of her childhood entitled Fat Girl: A True Story (2005). After her parents split up, she shuttled between her mother's apartment in Brooklyn and her maternal grandmother, who lived on a farm in Arkansas. Moore graduated from Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington and lived much of her adult life in Berkeley, California. In the early 1980s, she began to submit freelance book reviews and essays to weekly newspapers in the area. These pieces were collected and published in her first book as The Left Coast of Paradise: California and the American Heart (1987). Her second book, Never Eat Your Heart Out (1998) focused on her relationship with food. As a journalist, Moore wrote mostly for The San Diego Reader, a weekly publication, specializing in book reviews and offbeat feature subjects. She married and divorced twice, with two daughters. Moore died of colon cancer at age 66.

This book brought back all those memories and smells and tastes of the fair. It also beautifully illustrated how hard it is to "go home," and see both how things have changed and how they have remained the same. I feel like I had forgotten many things about that part of my life, but this book was a gentle and sentimental reminder. I enjoyed it!… (altro)
