Pleasingly Plump—Part 2, Fiction
Abstract
A recent bestseller by Stephen King, Thinner, is a thriller about a gypsy curse. Billy Halleck, a successful lawyer who is fifty pounds overweight, accidentally sideswipes an old gypsy woman whose father puts a terrible curse on him: he will grow thinner and thinner until he dies. When the book ends, it is 6 weeks later and Billy is ninety‐three pounds lighter with “the powers of evil melting his flesh away.”
