內容簡介

I didn't decide to become anorexic. It snuck up on me disguised as a healthy diet, a professional attitude. Being as thin as possible was a way to make the job of being an actress easier . . .

Portia de Rossi weighed only 82 pounds when she collapsed on the set of the Hollywood film in which she was playing her first leading role. This should have been the culmination of all her years of hard work--first as a child model in Australia, then as a cast member of one of the hottest shows on American television. On the outside she was thin and blond, glamorous and successful. On the inside, she was literally dying.

In this searing, unflinchingly honest book, Portia de Rossi captures the complex emotional truth of what it is like when food, weight, and body image take priority over every other human impulse or action. She recounts the elaborate rituals around eating that came to dominate hours of every day, from keeping her daily calorie intake below 300 to eating precisely measured amounts of food out of specific bowls and only with certain utensils. When this wasn't enough, she resorted to purging and compulsive physical exercise, driving her body and spirit to the breaking point.

Even as she rose to fame as a cast member of the hit television shows Ally McBeal and Arrested Development, Portia alternately starved herself and binged, all the while terrified that the truth of her sexuality would be exposed in the tabloids. She reveals the heartache and fear that accompany a life lived in the closet, a sense of isolation that was only magnified by her unrelenting desire to be ever thinner. With the storytelling skills of a great novelist and the eye for detail of a poet, Portia makes transparent as never before the behaviors and emotions of someone living with an eating disorder.

From her lowest point, Portia began the painful climb back to a life of health and honesty, falling in love with and eventually marrying Ellen DeGeneres, and emerging as an outspoken and articulate advocate for gay rights and women's health issues.

In this remarkable and beautifully written work, Portia shines a bright light on a dark subject. A crucial book for all those who might sometimes feel at war with themselves or their bodies, Unbearable Lightness is a story that inspires hope and nourishes the spirit.

精彩書評

“Anorexia was my first love,” de Rossi declares in her memoir of her early Hollywood career and the eating disorders that went along with it. Her unflinching self-portrait depicts a cripplingly self-conscious young Australian in LA overwhelmed by the pressure to be thin. Never comfortable in her own skin, a by-product of her status as a closeted lesbian, de Rossi was sure if she ever gained weight (or came out as being gay), the shooting star she’d been cultivating would turn to lead. Weight loss was the key that allowed de Rossi to feel powerful and in control, until dieting became a sickness that nearly killed her and devastated her family. De Rossi’s story and words are not revolutionary, but they are frank, brave, and revelatory of the unhealthy trends that stardom can generate. Although more development of de Rossi’s happy ending (her eventual complete recovery, self-acceptance, coming-out, and marriage to Ellen DeGeneres) would be welcome, the book succeeds as it’s intended: a journal of her sickness and a provocatively sad love affair with dieting.
--Annie Bostrom

“The blunt, pity-free matter-of-factness with which de Rossi shares secrets and lies about her eating disorders and her sexuality makes this forthright confessional story at once shocking and instructional, especially for younger women who may be secretly suffering on their own.”
—Entertainment Weekly

書很棒，物流很給力。迴頭查瞭一下，我是從2010年3月開始網絡購書的，算起來快5年瞭。師傅是我的女友“好夢”，她是個樣樣時尚都能搞懂的70後女子，若乾年前我看她拿瞭一摞書在付款，纔知道還有這等方便之事：網上選書，書到付款。於是趕緊迴傢登錄京東書城，挑選，下單。果然，很快書就送到瞭。從那時起到現在，我不知在京東下瞭多少訂單，四五十次應該有瞭吧，因為我早已是VIP鑽石用戶啦。好瞭，廢話不多說。還可以，和印象裏的有一點點區彆，可能是我記錯瞭書比我想的要厚很多，就是字有點小，不過挺實惠的，很滿意！書非常好，正版的，非常值，快遞也給力，必須給好評，就是感覺包裝有點簡陋啊哈哈~~~不過書很好，看瞭下內容也都很不錯，快遞也很給力，東西很好 物流速度也很快，和照片描述的也一樣，給個滿分吧 下次還會來買！好瞭，我現在來說說這本書的觀感吧，一個人重要的是找到自己的腔調，不論說話還是寫字。腔調一旦確立，就好比打架有瞭塊趁手的闆磚，怎麼使怎麼順手，怎麼拍怎麼有勁，順帶著身體姿態也揮灑自如，打架簡直成瞭舞蹈，兼有瞭美感和韻味。要論到寫字，腔調甚至先於主題，它是一個人特有的形式，或者工具；不這麼說，不這麼寫，就會彆扭；工欲善其事，必先利其器，腔調有時候就是“器”，有時候又是“事”，對一篇文章或者一本書來說，器就是事，事就是器。這本書，的確是用他特有的腔調錶達瞭對“腔調”本身的贊美。|據說，2011年8月24日，京東與支付寶閤作到期。官方公告顯示，京東商城已經全麵停用支付寶，除瞭無法使用支付服務外，使用支付寶賬號登錄的功能也一並被停用。京東商城創始人劉先生5月份曾錶示京東棄用支付寶原因是支付寶的費率太貴，為快錢等公司的4倍。在棄支付寶而去之後，京東商城轉投銀聯懷抱。這點我很喜歡，因為支付寶我從來就不用，用起來也很麻煩的。好瞭，現在給大傢介紹兩本好書： 《愛情急救手冊》是陸琪在研究上韆個真實情感案例，分析情感

很滿意，會繼續購買 印刷精緻得很 工作之餘,人們或楚河漢界運籌帷幄,或輕歌曼舞享受生活,而我則喜歡翻翻書、讀讀報,一個人沉浸在筆墨飄香的世界裏,跟智者神遊,與慧者交流,不知有漢,無論魏晉,醉在其中。我是一介窮書生,盡管在學校工作瞭二十五年,但是工資卻不好意思示人。當我教訓調皮搗蛋的女兒外孫子們時,時常被他們反問:“你老深更半夜瞭,還在寫作看書,可工資卻不到兩韆!”常常被他們噎得無話可說。當教師的我這一生注定與清貧相伴,惟一好處是有雙休息日,在屬於我的假期裏悠哉遊哉於書香之中,這也許是許多書外之人難以領略的愜意。好瞭，廢話不多說。還可以，和印象裏的有一點點區彆，可能是我記錯瞭書比我想的要厚很多，就是字有點小，不過挺實惠的，很滿意！書非常好，正版的，非常值，快遞也給力，必須給好評，就是感覺包裝有點簡陋啊哈哈~~~不過書很好，看瞭下內容也都很不錯，快遞也很給力，東西很好 物流速度也很快，和照片描述的也一樣，給個滿分吧 下次還會來買！好瞭，我現在來說說這本書的觀感吧，網絡文學融入主流文學之難，在於文學批評傢的缺席，在於衡量標準的混亂，很長一段時間，文學批評傢對網絡文學集體失語，直到最近一兩年來，諸多活躍於文學批評領域的評論傢，纔開始著手建立網絡文學的評價體係，很難得的是，他們迅速掌握瞭網絡文學的魅力內核，並對網絡文學給予瞭高度評價、寄予瞭很深的厚望。隨著網絡文學理論體係的建立，以及網絡文學在創作水準上的不斷提高，網絡文學成為主流文學中的主流已是清晰可見的事情，下一屆的“五個一工程奬”，我們期待看到更多讀瞭這本書之後，我發現作者在做班主任工作的時候也有很多的無奈，她曾經這樣說過：“‘隻有不會教的老師，沒有教不好的學生’——在我看來，這句話和‘人有多大膽，地有在書店看上瞭這本書一直想買可惜太貴又不打摺，迴傢決定上京東看看，果然有摺扣。毫不猶豫的買下瞭，京東速度果然非常快的，從配貨到送貨也很具體，快遞非常好，很快收到書瞭。書的包裝非常好，沒有拆開過，非常新，可以說無論自己閱讀傢人閱讀，收藏還是送人都特彆有麵子的說，特彆精美；各種十分美好雖然看著書本看著相對簡單，但也不遑多讓，塑封都很完整封麵和封底的設計、繪圖都十分好畫讓我覺得十分細膩具有收藏價值。書的封套非常精緻推薦大傢購買。
