I am not sure why but I’ve taken a strong liking to this word this week. It implies something worse than fat, or even obesity. Corpulent conjures up a largeness and girth so profound as to be just one moment away from heart failure. I just described a funeral director this way in my new story “The Perfect Solution.”
