Abstract In Hitchcocks Appetites, Casey McKittrick offers the first book-length study of the relationship between Hitchcocks body size and his cinema. Whereas most critics and biographers of the great director are content to consign his large figure and larger appetite to colorful anecdotes of his private life, McKittrick argues that our understanding of Hitchcocks films, his creative process, and his artistic mind are incomplete without considering his lived experience as a fat man. Using archival research of his publicity, script collaboration, and personal communications with his producers, in tandem with close textual readings of his films, feminist critique, and theories of embodiment, Hitchcocks Appetites produces a new and compelling profile of Hitchcock's creative life, and a fuller, more nuanced account of his auteurism
The first book-length study of director Alfred Hitchcock to consider how his struggles with weight and size found their expression in his cinema and in his creative life. This title was made Open Access by libraries from around the world through Knowledge Unlatched
