SCREW THE FAIRYTALE: A MODERN GIRL’S GUIDE TO SEX AND LOVE
Book ID/图书代码： 01930014B66962
English Summary/英文概要： To Helen Croydon, the idea of marriage and kids has just never appealed. But that doesn’t mean she doesn’t want to fall in love. Casual encounters don’t appeal, yet the shackles of commitment seem terrifying, not to mention boring. So Helen sets out to explore alternative models of relationships to the conventional, monogamous, 24-7, happily-ever-after fairytale. Through immersive reportage, startling new research and tales from her own colourful love life, Helen argues that the de facto cohabiting marriage with 2.4 children is no longer appropriate in our modern, fast-paced world. She finds mounting evidence that more people, like her, are saying ’screw the fairlytale!’ and finding alternative relationship lifestyles. Highlights of her mission take in a polyamorous commune in the Scottish Highlands (where she has to carry out a sexual pact), a wife-finding tour to the Ukraine and infiltrating a network of single professional women who’ve chosen to give up on finding love and get a sperm donor instead. Interviews with psychologists, evolutionists, asexuals, swingers, philanderers, long-term marrieds, mistresses and 40 year old virgins all combine to break new ground in this humorous and insightful guide to sex and love for the modern girl.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 对于海伦•克洛伊登而言，婚姻和孩子从来就对她毫无吸引力可言。但那却并不意味着她不想谈恋爱。随性的偶遇一点也不有趣，承诺的枷锁只会让她害怕不已，更别提那背后的无聊成分。因此海伦打算出发去寻找异于传统的另类关系，不在是一夫一妻，不再是时时刻刻黏在一起，也不再是童话般的从此幸福的生活在一起。
通过查阅无数的新闻报道和阅读令人震惊的新研究成果以及她自己多姿多彩的爱情生活，海伦宣称事实上，平均拥有2.4个小孩的同居婚姻生活将不再适合于现代超高节奏的世界。她找寻到了无数的证据可以证明：越来越多的人正像她一样“告别童话！”并找寻到另种可以替代的全新的情感生活方式。书中她将着重描绘在苏格兰高地上的一次多伴侣亲密交流（在那里他们订立了一条性契约），这是一场乌克兰的寻妻之旅，同时也灌输着一种思想，单身职业女性们已放弃去寻求真爱，而是通过精子捐献的方式取而代之。书中采访了许多形形色色的人：心理学家、进化论者、无性论者、乱交者、花花公子、多年已婚者、情妇，甚至还有40岁的处女，所有的这些采访可谓打开了一扇全新的大门，通过这扇门，你将从此对现代女孩们的性与爱产生更为幽默且深刻的认识。（DC）
