Abstract

In Hitchcock’s Appetites, Casey McKittrick offers the first book-length study of the relationship between Hitchcock’s 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 Hitchcock’s 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, Hitchcock’s Appetites produces a new and compelling profile of Hitchcock's creative life, and a fuller, more nuanced account of his auteurism..

Abstract

"Through the lens of Murray Pomerance's deft and multifaceted analysis, the film proves to involve musicality, gendered power, and cultural strangeness in deeply evocative and perplexing ways. It is also a strange and fabulous story of doubling, spiritual presence, and the intricacies of social organisation. No one who loves Hitchcock will want to miss this book; and no one who thinks of The Man Who Knew Too Much as a charming escapade will want to escape confronting its darkest nuances as brought to light in this thrilling, continually probing, and excitingly suggestive book."--Publisher description.
