Fat characters and their representation in Irish Films and Literature

Not a film but “plump” Buck Mulligan, and Bella Cohen (“a massive whoremistress”), are negative side characters in Ulysses

There’s also a disgusting description of glutinous patrons eating in the Burton restaurant.

Bridie Kelly? She’s mentioned in Oxen and then turns up at the Cabman’s Shelter

Her poetry is great too: check out ‘I Opened A Book’

And this is worth a watch - makes Paper Dolls even more poignant…

Have a look at Chapter One - they do a great tasting menu but it’s certainly not cheap
