WELCOME TO YOUR NEW LIFE
Book ID/图书代码： 01899512B57894
English Summary/英文概要： From the best-selling author of Piano Lessons
’You are fluid, composed of smoke or air, morphing between ectoplasm and skeleton. It is a dance, a cosmic strip show: a flash of spine, and then a rib cage, clean as a fish. Who is laying these bones down, bit by bit? Is it me who is making you, or are you making yourself?’
When Anna Goldsworthy, pianist and perfectionist, falls pregnant with her first child, her excitement is tempered by the daunting journey ahead. In Welcome to Your New Life, she shares the dizzying wonder and crippling anxiety that come with creating new life. Should she indulge her craving for cevapcici sausage after sixteen years of not eating meat? Will her birth plan involve Enya or hypnosis, or neither? And just how worried should she be about her baby falling into a composting toilet?
Goldsworthy’s elegant prose has the charm of Sloane Crosley’s writing (I Was Told There’d Be Cake), while her reflections on motherhood are every bit as frank as Rachel Cusk’s (A Life’s Work). Welcome to Your New Life disarmingly captures the shock of plunging into a life-changing adventure and the kicking required to return to the surface.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 摘自畅销书作家的《钢琴课》“你是流体,由烟或空气组成,流质和骨架之间变动。这是一个舞蹈,一个宇宙的脱衣舞表演:一闪,然后一个脊椎胸腔,干净如一只鱼。谁正在一点一点地铺设这些骨头?是我创造的你吗，还是你自己创造的你？”
当钢琴家和完美主义者Anna Goldsworthy怀上她第一个孩子的时候,她的兴奋被前方令人生畏的旅途所影响。在《欢迎来到你的新生活》中,她向读者分享了创造新生命时灿烂的奇迹和严重的焦虑。在十六年不吃肉的情况下，她应该纵容她想吃烤香肠的渴望吗？她的出生计划涉及恩雅或催眠,或着两个都不涉及？她应该多么担心她的孩子会落入一个堆肥厕所?
Goldsworthy优雅的散文拥有Sloane Crosley写作的魅力(有人告诉我蛋糕会有的),而她对身为母亲的反思每一点每一滴都是像Rachel Cusk一样直率(一生的工作)。《欢迎来到你的新生活》描写了陷入一个改变一生的冒险的震惊以及反冲回地面。（LNL）
