It reframes the BMI's racist and scientifically flawed foundations through pop culture and fad diets. We also kept coming back to Brenda Peynado's fiction. What We Lost is narrated as a community testimony. Townspeople begin to lose body parts, one at a time. It's strange and quietly devastating. Marco Sconocchia's photographs of an unhoused community in Rome offer a different kind of witness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho's \u003cem\u003eBerlin Quarterly\u003c\/em\u003e for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eBerlin Quarterly\u003c\/em\u003e is one for when you want your reading to resist easy categorisation.
