具体描述
内容简介
From the guitarist of the pioneering band Sleater-Kinney， the book Kim Gordon says "everyone has been waiting for" and a New York Times Notable Book of 2015-- a candid， funny， and deeply personal look at making a life--and finding yourself--in music.
Before Carrie Brownstein became a music icon， she was a young girl growing up in the Pacific Northwest just as it was becoming the setting for one the most important movements in rock history. Seeking a sense of home and identity， she would discover both while moving from spectator to creator in experiencing the power and mystery of a live performance. With Sleater-Kinney， Brownstein and her bandmates rose to prominence in the burgeoning underground feminist punk-rock movement that would define music and pop culture in the 1990s. They would be cited as “America’s best rock band” by legendary music critic Greil Marcus for their defiant， exuberant brand of punk that resisted labels and limitations， and redefined notions of gender in rock.
?
HUNGER MAKES ME A MODERN GIRL is an intimate and revealing narrative of her escape from a turbulent family life into a world where music was the means toward self-invention， community， and rescue. Along the way， Brownstein chronicles the excitement and contradictions within the era’s flourishing and fiercely independent music subculture， including experiences that sowed the seeds for the observational satire of the popular television series Portlandia years later.
?
With deft， lucid prose Brownstein proves herself as formidable on the page as on the stage. Accessibly raw， honest and heartfelt， this book captures the experience of being a young woman， a born performer and an outsider， and ultimately finding one’s true calling through hard work， courage and the intoxicating power of rock and roll.

On the page as in her songs， Brownstein finds the right words to give shape to experience.”—Kirkus starred review

“Brownstein flips easily from brainy ruminations on nostalgia， fandom， and record labels to trenchant stories about sexism， music journalism， and how a soy allergy—not drugs or alcohol—brought her to her knees on tour… her vivid Sleater-Kinney stories and descriptions of their albums are downright irresistible. Sleater-Kinney fans went nuts late last year when the trio broke their years-long hiatus， and Brownstein’s memoir will give them more to salivate over.”—Booklist
“[Brownstein] looks back with a healthy balance of romanticism， critique， and humor... she has talent... Her writing is super solid， at times even gripping... You don’t need to be a superfan to appreciate someone’s well-told story about the inherent joy and strife that comes with being in a band; a person’s story about finding， then losing， then re-finding her destiny.”—Electric Literature
“Brownstein has a gift for describing how collaboration works. She's got a clear critical grasp of how the push and pull between her and vocalist-guitarist Corin Tucker and the essential talents of drummer Janet Weiss made the powerful， abrasive， addictive music of Sleater-Kinney. And to that she adds an important personal perspective.”—Los Angeles Times
"Deftly woven narrative….A brisk and fascinating work.”?—Flavorwire?

“Her honesty is disarming， and buoyed by the same dry wit that makes her scenester-lacerating IFC series?Portlandia?so good. That’s how she artfully manages to transcend the backstage tropes of the rock-bio genre， and whyHunger?should become the new handbook for every modern girl (and yes， boys， too) looking for the courage to pursue a life less ordinary.”—Entertainment?Monthly?

用户评价
语言风格的运用简直是令人叹为观止的精妙切换，如同一个语言大师在操控着一支无形的画笔，随时根据主题变换着笔触的粗细和颜色的深浅。在描述那些内心深处的焦虑和迷茫时，文字变得极其内敛而具有内省的力量，充满了破碎的、却又富有哲理的短句，营造出一种私密对话般的氛围，让人感觉作者正贴在耳边低语着最隐秘的心声。然而，当涉及到外部世界的冲突或对社会现象的批判时，文字的火力瞬间全开，变得犀利、尖锐，甚至带着一种毫不留情的讽刺意味，节奏加快，充满了爆发力。更绝妙的是，作者在处理一些日常片段时，又能迅速切换到一种充满温度和幽默感的叙述方式，那些细微的生活场景被描绘得栩栩如生，充满了烟火气，让人会心一笑。这种在极度个人化与广阔社会观察之间的流畅过渡，没有丝毫的生硬或突兀，反而使得文本整体保持着一种动态的平衡和强大的阅读张力，使得读者在情感的温度和理性的思辨之间不断穿梭，始终保持着高度的参与感。
评分这本书的叙事节奏处理得犹如一首精心编排的交响乐，张弛有度，高潮迭起。作者仿佛是一位经验老道的指挥家，深谙何时需要激昂的铜管齐鸣，何时需要柔和的弦乐独奏。开篇的铺陈并不急躁，而是缓慢地、如同晨雾散去般揭示出故事的基调和主要冲突，这种克制感反而更具吸引力。随着情节的深入，叙述的密度和情感的强度也在稳步攀升，那些关键的转折点被处理得恰到好处，既有力地推动了故事发展，又给予了读者足够的时间去消化和感受其中的复杂情绪。最难得的是，即使在叙述最为紧张和情感最为饱满的段落，文字的脉络依然清晰可辨，没有丝毫的混乱或失控。偶尔插入的那些短小精悍、如同散文诗一般的段落，起到了极佳的调和作用，像是乐章中的休止符，让紧绷的神经得以短暂放松，然后以更饱满的姿态迎接下一波情感的冲击。这种高低起伏、主次分明的叙事结构，极大地增强了阅读过程中的沉浸感和回味无穷的艺术效果，让人在合上书本后，仍能清晰地“听见”故事里那独特而富有韵律的声音。
评分这本书的立意深度远超出了最初的预设，它成功地将个体经验的微观叙事，提升到了探讨时代精神和身份构建的宏观层面。它并非仅仅记录了某个人在特定时间段内的生活轨迹，而是通过这一具象的“我”的经历，巧妙地搭建起了一座通往更广阔社会议题的桥梁。阅读过程中，我深刻体会到作者在审视个人选择与时代潮流、内在渴望与外部期待之间的永恒拉锯时所展现出的深刻洞察力。这种思考是复杂的、多维度的，它拒绝给出简单的答案，而是鼓励读者去直面那些令人不安的灰色地带。每一次深入的自我剖析，都伴随着对我们所处时代某种集体心理或文化现象的精准定位。这种将“小我”熔铸于“大我”之中的叙事策略，使得这本书的价值得到了几何级的放大，它不仅是个人的成长记录，更像是一面映照着当代某些隐秘心境的时代镜鉴，其思想的回响，会在合上书页后很久，依然在读者的脑海中持续发酵和回响，催人深思。
评分这本书的装帧设计简直是一场视觉盛宴，从封面到内页的排版，都透露着一种精心雕琢的匠心。那种厚重的精装感，拿在手里沉甸甸的，仿佛承载着某种厚重的历史感和故事性。我尤其喜欢封面那种略带复古的色调，搭配上简洁而有力的字体，立刻就能抓住读者的眼球。翻开扉页，纸张的质感也出乎意料地好，那种微微泛着米黄色的纸张，让阅读体验瞬间提升了一个档次，即便是长时间沉浸其中，眼睛也不会感到明显的疲劳。装帧的细节处理得非常到位，比如书脊的锁线方式，结实而美观，让人感觉这本书不仅是一本书，更像是一件值得收藏的艺术品。每次把它从书架上取下来，都会忍不住摩挲一下封面，那种触感带来的满足感，是普通平装本无法比拟的。这本书的开本选择也十分合理，既保证了阅读时的舒适度，又不至于过分庞大难以携带，可以说是兼顾了实用性和审美性。可以看得出，出版方在制作这个版本时，是倾注了相当大的心血的，每一个细节都彰显了对“精装”二字的郑重承诺，让人对其中蕴含的内容更加充满了期待和敬意。这不仅仅是文字的载体，更是一份沉甸甸的阅读仪式感。
评分作者在塑造人物群像时展现出了惊人的洞察力与共情能力，几乎每一个次要角色都像是从现实生活中被精心挑选出来，带着无法磨灭的个体印记。他们不是简单地作为主角的陪衬或推动情节的工具而存在，而是拥有自己完整、可信的内心世界和行为逻辑。我特别留意到那些看似边缘的人物，他们偶尔的只言片语或不经意的动作，都像是一块块精美的马赛克，共同拼凑出了一个真实而复杂的社会图景。与主角的成长和挣扎形成鲜明对比的是，这些配角的反应和选择，构成了对主角处境的多元化映照与反思。例如，某个配角看似固执的坚持，实则反映了另一种生存哲学的困境；而另一个角色的看似软弱的退让，背后可能隐藏着更深层次的智慧或妥协。这种多角度的描摹，让整个故事的立体感和厚重感骤然增加，使得读者在阅读过程中，不时会停下来，思考：如果是我，面对同样的环境，会做出怎样的选择？这种深入到骨子里的真实感，是任何宏大叙事都无法替代的魅力所在。
