内容简介

I didn't decide to become anorexic. It snuck up on me disguised as a healthy diet, a professional attitude. Being as thin as possible was a way to make the job of being an actress easier . . .

Portia de Rossi weighed only 82 pounds when she collapsed on the set of the Hollywood film in which she was playing her first leading role. This should have been the culmination of all her years of hard work--first as a child model in Australia, then as a cast member of one of the hottest shows on American television. On the outside she was thin and blond, glamorous and successful. On the inside, she was literally dying.

In this searing, unflinchingly honest book, Portia de Rossi captures the complex emotional truth of what it is like when food, weight, and body image take priority over every other human impulse or action. She recounts the elaborate rituals around eating that came to dominate hours of every day, from keeping her daily calorie intake below 300 to eating precisely measured amounts of food out of specific bowls and only with certain utensils. When this wasn't enough, she resorted to purging and compulsive physical exercise, driving her body and spirit to the breaking point.

Even as she rose to fame as a cast member of the hit television shows Ally McBeal and Arrested Development, Portia alternately starved herself and binged, all the while terrified that the truth of her sexuality would be exposed in the tabloids. She reveals the heartache and fear that accompany a life lived in the closet, a sense of isolation that was only magnified by her unrelenting desire to be ever thinner. With the storytelling skills of a great novelist and the eye for detail of a poet, Portia makes transparent as never before the behaviors and emotions of someone living with an eating disorder.

From her lowest point, Portia began the painful climb back to a life of health and honesty, falling in love with and eventually marrying Ellen DeGeneres, and emerging as an outspoken and articulate advocate for gay rights and women's health issues.

In this remarkable and beautifully written work, Portia shines a bright light on a dark subject. A crucial book for all those who might sometimes feel at war with themselves or their bodies, Unbearable Lightness is a story that inspires hope and nourishes the spirit.

精彩书评

“Anorexia was my first love,” de Rossi declares in her memoir of her early Hollywood career and the eating disorders that went along with it. Her unflinching self-portrait depicts a cripplingly self-conscious young Australian in LA overwhelmed by the pressure to be thin. Never comfortable in her own skin, a by-product of her status as a closeted lesbian, de Rossi was sure if she ever gained weight (or came out as being gay), the shooting star she’d been cultivating would turn to lead. Weight loss was the key that allowed de Rossi to feel powerful and in control, until dieting became a sickness that nearly killed her and devastated her family. De Rossi’s story and words are not revolutionary, but they are frank, brave, and revelatory of the unhealthy trends that stardom can generate. Although more development of de Rossi’s happy ending (her eventual complete recovery, self-acceptance, coming-out, and marriage to Ellen DeGeneres) would be welcome, the book succeeds as it’s intended: a journal of her sickness and a provocatively sad love affair with dieting.
--Annie Bostrom

“The blunt, pity-free matter-of-factness with which de Rossi shares secrets and lies about her eating disorders and her sexuality makes this forthright confessional story at once shocking and instructional, especially for younger women who may be secretly suffering on their own.”
—Entertainment Weekly

一如既往的好！工作之余,人们或楚河汉界运筹帷幄,或轻歌曼舞享受生活,而我则喜欢翻翻书、读读报,一个人沉浸在笔墨飘香的世界里,跟智者神游,与慧者交流,不知有汉,无论魏晋,醉在其中。我是一介穷书生,尽管在学校工作了二十五年,但是工资却不好意思示人。当我教训调皮捣蛋的女儿外孙子们时,时常被他们反问:“你老深更半夜了,还在写作看书,可工资却不到两千!”常常被他们噎得无话可说。当教师的我这一生注定与清贫相伴,惟一好处是有双休息日,在属于我的假期里悠哉游哉于书香之中,这也许是许多书外之人难以领略的惬意。好了，废话不多说。不错的书，内容很丰富，排版很合理，一拿到就爱不释手！绝对是正版的，给图片上的一样，而且崭新的需要特别强调的是京东订的价格真的很低，服务态度也很好。快递公司服务很到位，把书拿到4楼上来了（比什么破“汇通快运”好多了！）。表演卖家和快递公司！走过路过千万不要错过，全5分！好了，我现在来说说这本书的观感吧，网络文学融入主流文学之难，在于文学批评家的缺席，在于衡量标准的混乱，很长一段时间，文学批评家对网络文学集体失语，直到最近一两年来，诸多活跃于文学批评领域的评论家，才开始着手建立网络文学的评价体系，很难得的是，他们迅速掌握了网络文学的魅力内核，并对网络文学给予了高度评价、寄予了很深的厚望。随着网络文学理论体系的建立，以及网络文学在创作水准上的不断提高，网络文学成为主流文学中的主流已是清晰可见的事情，下一届的“五个一工程奖”，我们期待看到更多网络文学作品的入选。现在，京东域名正式更换为JDCOM。其中的“JD”是京东汉语拼音（JING DON|G）首字母组合。从此，您不用再特意记忆京东的域名，也无需先搜索再点击，只要在浏览器输入JD.COM，即可方便快捷地访问京东，实现轻松购物。名为“Joy”的京东吉祥物我很喜欢，TA承载着京东对我们的承诺和努力。狗以对主人忠诚而著称，同时也拥有正直的品行，和快捷的奔跑速度。太喜爱京东了。|好了，现在给大家介绍两本好书：被美国学界誉为“思想巨匠”和“最具前瞻性的管理思想家”的史蒂芬·柯维博士，他的集大成之作《高效能人士的七个习惯》已成为中国企事业单位和政府机关必备的最经典、最著名的一部培训教材；在美国乃至全世界，史蒂芬·柯维的思想和成就，与拿破仑·希尔、戴尔·卡耐基比肩。《高效能人士的7个习惯（20周年纪念版）》在每一章最后增加了一个“付诸行动”版块，精选柯维培训课程中的实践训练习题，以帮助读者加深对“七个习惯”的理解和掌握，使“七个习惯”成为属于每个人自己的行动指南,价值堪比18000元的柯维现场培训课。史蒂芬·柯维被美国《时代周刊》评为“20世纪影响美国历史进程的25位人物”之一，他是前总统克林顿倚重的顾问，《财富》杂志100强中的90%和500强中的75%的企业是他的直接受教者，AT＆T、通用电子、全禄、可口可乐等大公司的高级主管都是他的学生，李开复等中国顶尖的企业家和管理者也深受其思想的启发。每年，来自全球的个人、家庭、企业、教育界及政府领导者的受教生更是高达百万人之多。东东枪和地下天鹅绒是两位在博客、微博、专栏里都非常受读者喜爱的作家，两人思维跳跃，观点奇特新颖，对待感情，他们也细细琢磨，也插科打诨。同在滚滚红尘中摸爬滚打，两位勇士将他们对两性情感的所感所悟一一精彩呈现，得此《鸳鸯谱》，闪着智慧幽默的光。鸳鸯谱，靠谱。
