THE TELLING: A MEMOIR
Book ID/图书代码： 06840016B87535
English Summary/英文概要： Zoe Zolbrod remained silent about her early childhood molestation for nearly a decade. When she finally decided to tell, she wasn’t sure what to expect, or what to say. Through a kaleidoscopic series of experiences—Zolbrod hitchhikes with a boyfriend from one coast to another, hangs out in a strip club in Philadelphia, meets and marries her husband, and gives birth to her children—she traces the development of her sexuality, her relationships with men, and the cultivation of her motherhood in the shadow of her childhood sexual abuse. Bolstered with research, Zolbrod argues passionately for the empowerment of sexual abuse victims and the courage it takes to talk about it.
The Telling is an intimate examination of one woman’s reckoning with a past she can’t always explain, and a life lived in search for the right words.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： Zoe Zolbrod过去将近十年里对其孩童时代所遭受的猥亵和性骚扰一直三缄其口。最终，当她决定诉说时，她不知道想得到什么，也不知道该从何说起。Zoe的童年经历千变万化——和男朋友搭便车从一个海岸到另一个海岸到处旅行，在费城泡夜店，遇见了她的丈夫并结婚，之后又有了孩子——她追溯着自己性史、与不同男人所发生的关系以及在童年遭受性侵犯的阴影下，如何培逐步养起母爱。Zolbrod激动地捍卫性侵犯受害者的权利，要大胆地说出自己的遭遇需要多么大的勇气。
《诉说》是一部极具私隐的作品，探讨了一位女性对于其不堪回首、又难以启齿的过往的思忖。（LYR）
