Publisher's Note
A hilarious and touching memoir from New York Times restaurant critic Frank Bruni traces the unlikely path to his profession and offers a searingly honest exploration of this lifelong struggle with food.

Industry Reviews
"Bruni's prose is as robust as his story; he clearly enjoys writing as much as eating. He is also, at times, very funny. But the best thing about BORN ROUND is that it is so embarrassingly, inspiringly honest....His book does what a memoir should: it entertains and edifies, voicing pain that otherwise many endure in loneliness. It promises to give comfort to souls feeling confused or betrayed by their bodies."
(08/23/2009)

"It's a good thing Frank Bruni is such a talented writer, or BORN ROUND...would be a lot tougher to digest....A book of comic excesses and culinary appreciation, it ends on a cautiously optimistic note: Bruni mostly has his eating under control, but doesn't take it for granted. His passion for food, however, remains undiminished."
(08/20/2009)

"There are very few emotions the New York Times restaurant critic Bruni's autobiography does not invoke--all well and good for what should be an army of readers. His book is funny and sad, heartwarming and anger-provoking, and candid and cagey....It reads like a novel, resonates like true life, and resounds with a wise life perspective." (starred review)
(09/01/2009)

"The problem with BORN ROUND is that...[t]he solution Bruni finds to a lifetime of ranging from overweight to obese is to exercise hard and eat less....It wouldn't make a very good diet infomercial, but it does make for wonderful reading."
