In Hitchcocks Appetites; Casey McKittrick offers the first book-length study of the relationship between Hitchcocks body size and his cinema. Whereas most critics and biographers of the great director are content to consign his large figure and larger appetite to colorful anecdotes of his private life; McKittrick argues that our understanding of Hitchcocks films; his creative process; and his artistic mind are incomplete without considering his lived experience as a fat man.Using archival research of his publicity; script collaboration; and personal communications with his producers; in tandem with close textual readings of his films; feminist critique; and theories of embodiment; Hitchcocks Appetites produces a new and compelling profile of Hitchcocks creative life; and a fuller; more nuanced account of his auteurism.

Often it seems it was a commentary on the different videos that are out there that show John or that are about him. For the die hard fans its nothing new and we know what John wouldnt have approved this. For those seeking a good read about an Aussie music legend then yes buy it.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Aussie IconBy CustomerGreat insight into a fantastic Aussie icon.
