内容简介

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.

精彩书评

“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

今天刚刚拿到书，这本:..郭小窝1.郭小窝写的风铃之绊（套装共2册）很不错，樱圣私立学院神秘的翼公馆近来不是很太平，一个空降而来的陌生女孩强硬地闯进了这群男生的生活，将他们原本平静无波的生活搅得鸡飞狗跳。这个法力无边的女生看上去是个乖乖女，实则有股天不怕地不怕的气势。先是在开学第一天犯了全校女生的众怒被人追杀，接着又毫无心理障碍地揍了无辜的哥哥，美其名曰是替父母管教，后又单枪匹马地去挑战人人厌恶又畏惧的校报变态主编。在发现公馆那几个人的秘密后，又瞄准了新目标，决定用自己的正能量改造这群别扭的家伙，让他们相亲相爱起来。然而，身边有一个能预知未来的怪异少年经常冷不丁地预测一下明天该谁倒霉了，还有一个以探听他人隐私为乐趣的恶趣味主编时不时对她围追堵截，她的任务貌似十分艰巨。晶蓝的天空万里无云，偶有飞鸟一掠而过。大地蒸腾起一丝热气，透着闷闷的潮热感。这座城市的夏天，已经悄无声息地来临。一架从遥远国度航行而来的飞机，在天空划出一道细长的白烟，沿着既定的航线，它平稳地飞行在空中，最后缓缓往目的地降落。各位乘客请注意，飞机即将在东方国际机场降落，请您检查好随身携带的物品广播里响起空姐温柔的声音，让原本还昏昏欲睡的莫可凌渐渐恢复清醒。倏地，眼前猛然惊悚地闪过那张肥头大耳，满脸雀斑，还戴着厚厚眼镜的书呆子的脸。那是在回国前，从父亲那里看到的那个素未谋面的哥哥的照片。于是，在终于想清楚自己的处境后，茫然的表情瞬间变得异常扭曲，像被大卡车碾过。混蛋混蛋混蛋！！！可恶！居然这么对我！混蛋！不顾现在身处安静的机舱，莫可凌失控地抓狂大叫。这个举动，立即惹来一堆眼球。克制着内心的不安，坐在她身旁的一位外国友人关切地问道闻言，莫可凌的脸霎时冷若冰霜，她垂着眼皮，面无表情地看着那个白皮肤蓝眼睛的男人，一字一顿地说，！刹那间，外国友人一脸黑线。像是折腾累了，莫可凌有气无力地看向窗外。透过窗户，她看见地上的建筑似乎在瞬间拔地而起，慢慢变大。她开始感受到了东方的繁华。莫可凌，莫氏企业的千金，因为出生时先天不足，所以在还没有记忆的时候就被送到了国外一座名叫维斯亚的疗养岛静养，此后，她没有踏出过岛内半步。而在国内的哥哥因为种种原因，也从未来过岛上，于是本应该相亲相爱的兄妹俩，变成了素未谋面的陌生人。如果父母不提起的话，她可能一辈子都不会知道自己还有个哥哥。最近不知为何，父母忽然提出要自己回国跟哥哥住在一起，一开始，莫可凌觉得挺新鲜的，便跟父亲要哥哥的照片，可是当收到那个所谓的哥哥发过来的照片时，莫可凌不乐意了。——我才不要跟那种丑八怪住在一起！这是莫可凌看到照片后的第一反应。可是连哄带骗，她最后还是被父母
