PositiveLos Angeles Review of Books\"Laymon’s blunt, incantatory sentences sketch these blurred boundaries [with his mother] ... Laymon forcefully demonstrates that eating disorders are gendered and raced, even as the ravages of self-abuse seem universal ... This is what the best serial life writing can do: revise personal history, revealing new truths each time a writer revisits a scene from his past. My highest praise for Heavy is that it is truly intersectional, in ways that Between the World and Me does not always attempt to be.\
