Kit Reed's new novel, Thinner Than Thou, is a June book from Tor. Dealing with food and body issues, it's about what happens when body image becomes the new religion in the U.S.—wait. It already has! More about this at http://www.kitreed.net. The New York Times called her novel @expectations a "poignant new novel about love, life and loss in the age of the Internet." Kit's SF novels are Magic Time, Armed Camps, Fort Privilege, and Little Sisters of the Apocalypse. Her other mainstream novels include Captain Grownup, Catholic Girls, and J. Eden. As Kit Craig she is the author of Gone, Twice Burned, and other psychological thrillers published here and in the UK. A Guggenheim fellow, she is the first American recipient of an international literary grant from the Abraham Woursell Foundation. She's had stories in, among others, The Yale Review, The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, Omni, and The Norton Anthology of Contemporary Literature. Both Weird Women, Wired Women and Little Sisters of the Apocalypse were finalists for the Tiptree Prize. Of her short fiction, The New York Times Book Review says, "Most of these stories shine with the incisive edginess of brilliant cartoons … they are less fantastic than visionary."
