Muscle: Confessions of an Unlikely Bodybuilder
Sign in to keep track of books you’ve read and want to read.
Muscle is the fascinating account—sometimes wildly funny, sometimes wrenching and poignant—of the world of desperate dreamers in quest of the perfect body. Part puritan, part P.T. Barnum, it is filled with colorful rogues and gym rats whose needs and fantasies are surprisingly similar to our own, and whose quests for perfection and growth at whatever cost are quintessentially American. 8 pages of photographs.
