Can’t be sure about this one, but both Waterstone’s and WH Smith are listing the paperback edition of Fat as due for release on the 12th July – that’s next Thursday.

Fat
Look, everyone! Rob Grant’s Fat! Alright, that’s the last time we’ll use that joke, we promise. But you have to admit, he’s almost complicit in it with a title like that. Anyway, after a lengthy wait (although, to be honest, not as lengthy as some have made out – we’re not exactly talking Duke Nukem Forever or Chinese Democracy, here), Rob’s latest novel, Fat, is finally in shops. And after an almost as lengthy wait (fortuitous circumstances meant we were in a position to get a review of this book out for its release date; dire technical circumstances meant we failed to do so), the G&T verdict is here as well. So, what do we reckon?
I’ve run out of headlines for Rob Grant I’m afraid, so sorry about that, I’ll have a think of some more for next time
Thanks to Paul Gannon for pointing us towards this Manchester Evening News interview with Rob Grant, on Fat. It makes for an interesting read, with a glimpse of his personal life that we don’t often get to see.
Fat Scan!!!!1111
Think about it.
Anyway, for your delectation and delight, we have for you – a scan of an interview with Rob Grant from the Metro on Monday, with thanks to Paul Gannon, and a scan of a review in SFX of Fat, with thanks to me and my dodgy scanner.
Rob Grant – Forbidden Planet signings
Forbidden Planet is delighted to announce a signing with Rob Grant. He will be signing his new book FAT (Gollancz – Special Offer Price £8.99) at the Forbidden Planet Megastore, 179 Shaftesbury Avenue, London WC2 H 8JR on Saturday 6th January 1 – 2pm.
Marvellous! FP’s own website, meanwhile, also tells us that he’ll be in Bristol on Thursday 11th – although, annoyingly, it’s between 2-4pm, so those of you with JOBS won’t be able to make it. Which seems rather daft, really.
UPDATE : Word now reaches us from TOS that there’s actually a full-blown tour in the works. Check out the dates over there – and note that in addition to the FP signing (where you’ll queue for ages to see him for about thirty seconds), there’s going to be a ticketed event at Waterstone’s, presumably including a reading and/or a Q&A…
SFX Roundup
Issue #151, Christmas 2006. IT’S COCKING NOVEMBER. Magazine publishing dates annoy me.
Anyway, a few things Dwarf-related caught my eye in SFX this issue, so here’s a quick roundup. You should probably buy it, as I’m not going to cheat and scan everything in for you.
Rob Grant’s Fat
How many more times can we use that joke? I think we’ve got about 27 left before it stops being funny. Especially considering how we now tag news stories.
