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 Hitchcock's films, his creative process, and his artistic mind are incomplete without considering his lived experience as a fat man.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsing 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, \u003ci\u003eHitchcock's Appetites\u003c\/i\u003e produces a new and compelling profile of Hitchcock's creative life, and a fuller, more nuanced account of his auteurism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCasey McKittrick\u003c\/b\u003e is an Associate Professor of English at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA.
