In the pages of a 300-page book about a magic pill revolutionising the wellness industry is an affectionate tale of friendship. As the only two individuals in the audience who couldn’t help but find humour in a serious dramatisation of a “lousy” play that unfolded before them, Johann Hari and “Hannah” struck up a lasting bond. Hari is generous with his words when painting a vivid picture of the woman with “mousy brown hair”, a “huge stomach”, who spoke with a “musical lilt” as he describes how their subsequent search to sample the “worst-sounding plays” helped their friendship blossom.
In the just released title that chronicles how the world became obsessed with Ozempic, a weight-loss drug, this seemingly incongruous story is, in fact, its most appropriate addition. While narrating his shenanigans with his friend, the author picks the choicest words to describe how their mutual love for “grease-laden kebab” and banana milkshake became rather integral to their bond. In doing so, he bears open an honest depiction of how Hannah, he, and a significant proportion of the world’s population tread the path to obesity that’s often hard to retreat from.
