A collection of short stories called “Fat Swim” by Philly author Emma Copley Eisenberg is slated for release on April 28th. In it, Eisenberg explores queer relationships, Philadelphia’s social landscape, and bodies – how they shape us, why some authors avoid talking about them, and why they should start.
