Dietland on the Small Screen
Dietland, a novel by Sarai Walker MFA '03, premiered in June as a TV series on AMC.
From the USA Today review:
"The smartly written dark dramedy, created by Marti Noxon (UnREAL), is a delectable expression of feminist anger, a parable that eviscerates the patriarchy. Dietland isn't here to make you comfortable.
Instead, it's an incisive, biting satire that challenges your preconceptions about feminism and body type, one that might make you confront your own biases and body image. And it's probably the only show to do so that also includes hallucinations of sexy tigers."
Dietland is an off-kilter drama about society’s tendency to limit women, and a show that itself defies categorization.
