英文简介: Combining the revealing cultural commentary of Fast Food Nation with the visceral insights of A Million Little Pieces, this is the story of a journalist’s struggle with weight, and an unflinching look at our own culture of fat and thin.
“I thought: if I can understand the despair, my own and everybody’s else’s, I could write the story—of why we hate fat, of why we are fat, of why, in some perverse way, we want to be fat. And, most importantly, what we can do to stop being so fat. Obesity is the essential human problem in a nutshell—we try to make life easy by giving ourselves access to resources, and then we make life difficult by overconsuming those resources. We have more of everything than we’ve ever had, and yet we feel emptier.”
While on assignment to interview Dr. Robert Atkins, journalist William Leith realized that he could not report on diet alone; he wanted desperately to develop a deeper understanding of his relationship with food and the pathological cravings that led him (and millions of others) to become dangerously overweight.
His Atkins interview led him to probe not only the link between carbohydrates and addiction, but also how our relationship with food has changed over the last few decades in light of economic, technological, and cultural changes in the world, as well as our cultural obsession with our bodies. Combining the science of food addiction with memoir, humor, and sociological insights, The Hungry Years is a book that will force us to look at our culture of consumption in a new way.

英文简介: Starred PW for THE BOY AND THE DOG ARE SLEEPING, “powerful and rare display of visceral, emotional writing,” In this powerful and moving memoir, Nasdijj writes about the love between brothers, a love that saved Nasdijj and his little brother, Shawnee, from being destroyed by the grim reality of their childhood. It is also a book about the world of migrant workers, a world that remains hidden from most Americans but is still very much alive in this country. Nasdijj and Shawnee lost their loving, if flawed Navajo mother to alcoholism and despair at a very young age. They were left in the sometimes indifferent, often abusive and occasionally loving care of their alcoholic father who drove his truck around the country looking for migrant work. Nasdijj and Shawnee occasionally went to school, often encountering the prejudice and cruelty of 1950s white teachers. Sometimes they worked in the fields. For a while they were in juvenile detention. Mostly they were left to fend for themselves in a variety of hostile environments.

中文概要: 《作家的女儿》 是一部感人至深的个人回忆录。作者向我们讲述了两个历程：一是穿越战时阿富汗的死亡前线；二是作者两种自我的成长：她是在英国乡间长大的、性格温良的女孩，而在另一方面作为阿富汗贵族的女儿，她继承了祖先不羁的个性，是个容易发火的姑娘。 类似的冒险奇遇，很少有能唤起人们内心深处的欢乐与痛楚，可是这本书做到了。作为个人回忆录，它触角敏锐，令人心酸。 关于阿富汗这个国家及其丰富复杂的文化， 外界有不少误会曲解，在这方面，本书可谓是一场“及时雨”。 在这本书中，人们与作者Saira Shah一起经历了不平常的旅程。先辈流传的阿富汗神话，伴随作者在英国度过了童年时光；作者还向读者讲述了现今阿富汗的恐怖复杂局势。作者在文中抒发的是她自己的真情实感，这只有受英语教育的阿富汗后代能做到这一点。 Shah很大度地包容历史、家庭、及旧的东西方文化冲突。作者文笔优美、字里行间透着幽默。书中表现出她不屈不挠的调查精神，让读者真正地认识这个迷人国度。Shah作为一个出色的英国作家，可给读者的印象却是：她是一个不折不扣的阿富汗人。

英文简介: In the world of independent film making John Cassavetes stands apart. Among filmmakers and film buffs, Cassavetes is revered, almost as a god. A major star of live television and a serious actor, he stumbled into making his first film, Shadows, and created a template for working outside the Hollywood system that would produce some of the most piercing and human films of the last thirty years including A Woman Under the Influence and Husbands. He became the prototypical outsider fighting the system for much of his career. Film critic Marshall Fine had unprecendented access to Cassavetes’ wife, Gena Rowlands, and other members of their inner circle, as well as industry insiders who worked with Cassavetes -- some speaking publicly for the first time. Together, they tell his daring, tumultuous, and compelling story.

中文概要: 当其他的女人是你的丈夫时你会怎么做?一个妻子关于丈夫性别变化的回忆录

克里斯汀Benvenuto结婚超过20年,有三个年轻的孩子,当她的丈夫一天晚上在床上对她说:“我不断地思考我的性别。“他对自己的身体感到不愉快,想成为一个女人。部分回忆录,部分窥淫的看着一个婚姻、《性变化》是婚姻的尽头并从另一端出去的旅程。我们看到一个女人,急于拯救她的家庭和她的孩子们,发现了她从来不知道她所拥有的强度和坚韧。我们学习如何告诉邻居当你的丈夫穿着衬衫和领带时试穿高跟鞋。我们看到一个女人在她最黑暗时期里在与一群一起旅游朋友敞开自己,学习如何给以及接受别人的爱和支持的真正的友谊。当她失去了她的丈夫,裙子和荷尔蒙,生活让克里斯成为更好的女人。

英文简介: What do you do when the other woman is your husband? A wife’s memoir of her husband’s sex change

Christine Benvenuto had been married for more than twenty years—with three young children—when her husband turned to her one night in bed and said "I’m thinking constantly about my gender." He was unhappy in his body and wanted to become a woman. Part memoir, part voyeur’s look into a marriage, Sex Changes is a journey through the end of a marriage and out the other side. We see a woman, desperate to save her family and shelter her children, discover a well of strength and resilience she never knew she had. We learn what to tell the neighbors when your husband starts wearing heels with his shirts and ties. We see a woman open herself to a group of friends who travel with her through her darkest times, provide light and levity throughout—and who offer the opportunity to learn how to give as well as receive the love and support of true friendship. When she lost her husband to skirts and hormones, life made Chris a better woman.

Sex Changes is the story of what one woman discovered about herself in the midst of the conflagration of her family. Fiercely funny, self-lacerating, and not entirely politically correct, Sex Changes is a journey of love and anguish told with hilarity, heartbreak and a lot of soul searching. It is about the mysteries in every marriage, the secrets we chose to keep, and the freedom that the truth can bring.
