GIRL LEAST LIKELY TO: THIRTY YEARS OF FASHION, FASTING AND FLEET STREET
Book ID/图书代码: 12290014B67720
English Summary/英文概要: Liz Jones is Fashion Editor of the Daily Mail, and a columnist for the Mail on Sunday. She is the former editor of Marie Claire, which sounds quite an achievement, but she was sacked three years in. A psychotherapist once told her, ’What you brood on will hatch’, and she was right. Nothing Liz ever did in life ever worked out. Nothing. Not one single thing.
Liz grew up in Essex, the youngest of seven children. Her mother was a martyr, her dad so dashing that no other man could ever live up to his pressed and polished standards. Her siblings terrified her, with their Afghan coats, cigarettes, parties, sex and drugs. They made her father shout, and her mother cry.
Liz became an anorexic aged eleven, an illness that continues to blight her life today. She remained a virgin until her thirties, and even then found the wait wasn’t really worth it; it was just one more thing to add to her to do list. She was named Columnist of the Year 2012 by the British Society of Magazine Editors, but is still too frightened to answer the phone, too filled with disgust at her own image to glance in the mirror or eat a whole avocado.
She lives alone with her four rescued collies, three horses and seventeen cats. Girl Least Likely To is the opposite of ’having it all’. It is a life lesson in how NOT to be a woman.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: Liz Jones是《每日邮报》时尚编辑,和《星期日邮报》的专栏作家。她是《美丽佳人》的前编辑,这听起来就相当的有成就感,但三年内被解雇了。一个心理治疗师曾告诫她“种瓜得瓜”,证明她是对的。Liz所做过的任何一件事都没有结果。没有,没有一件事情。
Liz在埃塞克斯长大,是七个孩子中最小的一个。她的母亲是个烈士,她的爸爸很有劲以至于没人能达到他的强压的、高标准。她的兄弟姐妹吓坏了她,穿着阿富汗大衣、香烟、聚会、性和毒品。这让她的父亲大吼,她的母亲哭泣。
Liz11岁时变成厌食症患者,如今仍在破坏她的生活。她直到30岁时仍是处女,甚至当时才觉察到等待并不值得,这只会在她将做的事情中又加了一条。她被英国杂志编辑协会评为2012年度专栏作家,但仍然很恐慌以至于不敢接电话,对自己的容貌很不满意以至于不敢照镜子或者吃下一个梨。她独自生活,陪伴着她的是四只获救的柯利牧羊犬,三匹马和十七只猫。这是她最真实的人生。(LNL)
