Fat Chance

by Dodie Bellamy

"In this writing, it's like Dodie Bellamy's being questioned by 12 detectives. They are talking over one another so naturally her voice assumes 12 simultaneous registers, each very endearing but still hot. After she recites her collected works the detectives are willing to forgive everything. They only want to sleep with her." - Cedar Sigo

"Bellamy's Fat Chance is pellucid, masterful prose, at once a bodiceful of grainy secrets, a set of falsities, and a treasury of urbane/innocent candor. To her, against eternity, I raise a glass of stingo! There are many reasons I read Bellamy, not least for the rapidity of insight, mediumistic spirit, and her enormous, at times jocular, tenderness." - Lissa Wolsak
