APPETITES: WHY WOMEN WANT
Book ID/图书代码： 03371011B48866
English Summary/英文概要： What looks like a consciously altruistic effort to encapsulate one woman’s entire life into lessons for the benefit of womankind may be just that: after divulging every gruesome detail of her spiral into anorexia and subsequent self-discoveries in this memoir, Knapp died of lung cancer last June at age 42. Similar in tone to her previous Drinking: A Love Story, this work is candid and persuasive enough to reach many women with analogous problems. But it’s more than one woman’s tragic story; multitudinous interviews with women with eating disorders, excerpts from classic feminist texts and sociological statistics lend credence and categorize the book under cultural studies as much as self-help. Knapp hypothesizes that the feminists who came after the revolutionary 1960s, herself included, were stifled rather than empowered by the overwhelming choices before them. They gained "the freedom to hunger and to satisfy hunger in all its varied forms." Unfortunately, writes Knapp, size-obsessed fashion magazines and other social messages contradict a woman’s right to desire, contributing to the rise in eating disorders and other illnesses. Knapp observes an aspect of the backlash against the feminist movement: when "women were demanding the right to take up more space in the world," they were being told by a still patriarchal society "to grow physically smaller." Though Knapp admits it’s "easier to worry about the body than the soul," she hopes creating a dialogue about anorexia will enable all women to nourish both.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 出于对女性的利益的认识，有意识地将一个女人的一生浓缩成几个章节，这是怎样的一种无私奉献？柯奈普在这本回忆录中揭露自己患上厌食症，病情螺旋上升般的加剧时每一个可怕的细节以及之后自己的一些自我发现与感悟后，去年六月由于肺癌病逝，享年42岁。 与其旧作《畅饮：一个爱情故事》风格相似，这部作品语言简洁，具有说服力，对具有类似问题的女性颇有帮助。它讲述的不仅仅是一个女人的悲剧故事，对饮食紊乱女性的大量采访，从经典的男女平等主义者书籍和社会统计资料中摘录有用信息，这些让此书可信度大增，被归类为多种文化研究书籍和自主指南。
柯奈普假设这些经历过20世纪90年代革命的男女平等主义者（包括她自己）的权利是被压抑着的而非拥有不计其数的选择权。他们获得“用各种形式的挨饿的自由和满足于挨饿的自由。”不幸的是，柯奈普写道“炙手可热的时尚杂志和其他一些社交信息与女性权利的欲望是矛盾的。这导致了饮食混乱和其他疾病的不断增加。
柯奈普评论了与男女平等主义者对抗运动的一个方面：女性要求在这个世界上获得更多的权力时，“一个依旧是男性掌权的社会告诉他们“体型上要更加玲珑娇小。”尽管柯奈普承认“担心身体比忧虑灵魂要轻松地多，”但她希望编造一个关于厌食症的对话可以让所有女性在心灵和身体上都得到洗涤。(兼职翻译—XMM)
