內容簡介

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.

精彩書評

“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

今天剛剛拿到書，這本:..郭小窩1.郭小窩寫的風鈴之絆（套裝共2冊）很不錯，櫻聖私立學院神秘的翼公館近來不是很太平，一個空降而來的陌生女孩強硬地闖進瞭這群男生的生活，將他們原本平靜無波的生活攪得雞飛狗跳。這個法力無邊的女生看上去是個乖乖女，實則有股天不怕地不怕的氣勢。先是在開學第一天犯瞭全校女生的眾怒被人追殺，接著又毫無心理障礙地揍瞭無辜的哥哥，美其名曰是替父母管教，後又單槍匹馬地去挑戰人人厭惡又畏懼的校報變態主編。在發現公館那幾個人的秘密後，又瞄準瞭新目標，決定用自己的正能量改造這群彆扭的傢夥，讓他們相親相愛起來。然而，身邊有一個能預知未來的怪異少年經常冷不丁地預測一下明天該誰倒黴瞭，還有一個以探聽他人隱私為樂趣的惡趣味主編時不時對她圍追堵截，她的任務貌似十分艱巨。晶藍的天空萬裏無雲，偶有飛鳥一掠而過。大地蒸騰起一絲熱氣，透著悶悶的潮熱感。這座城市的夏天，已經悄無聲息地來臨。一架從遙遠國度航行而來的飛機，在天空劃齣一道細長的白煙，沿著既定的航綫，它平穩地飛行在空中，最後緩緩往目的地降落。各位乘客請注意，飛機即將在東方國際機場降落，請您檢查好隨身攜帶的物品廣播裏響起空姐溫柔的聲音，讓原本還昏昏欲睡的莫可淩漸漸恢復清醒。倏地，眼前猛然驚悚地閃過那張肥頭大耳，滿臉雀斑，還戴著厚厚眼鏡的書呆子的臉。那是在迴國前，從父親那裏看到的那個素未謀麵的哥哥的照片。於是，在終於想清楚自己的處境後，茫然的錶情瞬間變得異常扭麯，像被大卡車碾過。混蛋混蛋混蛋！！！可惡！居然這麼對我！混蛋！不顧現在身處安靜的機艙，莫可淩失控地抓狂大叫。這個舉動，立即惹來一堆眼球。剋製著內心的不安，坐在她身旁的一位外國友人關切地問道聞言，莫可淩的臉霎時冷若冰霜，她垂著眼皮，麵無錶情地看著那個白皮膚藍眼睛的男人，一字一頓地說，！刹那間，外國友人一臉黑綫。像是摺騰纍瞭，莫可淩有氣無力地看嚮窗外。透過窗戶，她看見地上的建築似乎在瞬間拔地而起，慢慢變大。她開始感受到瞭東方的繁華。莫可淩，莫氏企業的韆金，因為齣生時先天不足，所以在還沒有記憶的時候就被送到瞭國外一座名叫維斯亞的療養島靜養，此後，她沒有踏齣過島內半步。而在國內的哥哥因為種種原因，也從未來過島上，於是本應該相親相愛的兄妹倆，變成瞭素未謀麵的陌生人。如果父母不提起的話，她可能一輩子都不會知道自己還有個哥哥。最近不知為何，父母忽然提齣要自己迴國跟哥哥住在一起，一開始，莫可淩覺得挺新鮮的，便跟父親要哥哥的照片，可是當收到那個所謂的哥哥發過來的照片時，莫可淩不樂意瞭。——我纔不要跟那種醜八怪住在一起！這是莫可淩看到照片後的第一反應。可是連哄帶騙，她最後還是被父母
