Her latest novel, Big Brother, confronts the obesity epidemic. Join us as Shriver discusses her insightful body of work.

第二场:
BIG BROTHER
12pm Lionel Shriver with Tim Clissold
When Pandora picks her brother Edison up at the airport, he has gained so much weight she no longer recognizes him. In the four years since they last saw each other, Edison has transformed from a thin jazz musician to a morbidly obese and unhealthy know-it-all. In her latest work Big Brother, award-winning novelist Lionel Shriver probes the deep issues of the obesity epidemic: overeating, extreme diets and society’s treatment of fat people. Join us as she discusses with Tim Clissold (Mr. China).
