New Stephanie Klein interview: Lessons from fat camp

2008moose.jpg2008klein.jpg When I met Stephanie Klein a couple of years ago in Austin (read the interview here), she was living a kind of literary dream life. She'd turned her Sex in the CIty lifestyle (she hates that cliche, but it fits) into a hugely popular blog and signed a juicy book contract with the not-yet-deposed Judith Regan, the first part of which was the memoir Straight Up and Dirty.

But even then, she said that work was just a prelude to the book she really cared about -- a memoir-in-progress about attending "fat camp" as a youth. That book has now come out as Moose: A Memoir of Fat Camp. And staff writer Jamie Knodel just interviewed her ahead of her two local appearances.

From sex and relationship troubles to eating and body image issues -- as I told Stephanie in 2006, she should do well. Her potential audience is only every woman in America.
