Books like Born round by Frank Bruni
Frank Bruni—born and raised in a big Italian household in White Plains, New York—has always been known for his boundless appetite. Growing up in a family that celebrated epic, oversized meals, he learned early how difficult it could be to control his eating. Years of wrestling with weight and hunger shaped his worldview and journalistic voice. When he was named the New York Times restaurant critic in 2004, he knew that his reviews would be closely watched, especially after a career that had already tackled politics and international affairs. In this candid memoir, Bruni reflects on his relationship with food, the challenges of being chronically overweight, and the process of learning to balance his love of cuisine with a healthier lifestyle.
