书籍简介

一本关于思考和阅读、进食和拒绝进食、关于塑造我们的人际关系和童年的漫长触角的回忆录。

在 Sarah Moss 的童年家庭中，她了解到女性的身体和思想是战场。20 世纪 70 年代的紧缩政策和第二波女权主义结合在一起：她要保持苗条，但绝不能自负，她要聪明，但绝不能生气，她要会做饭、缝纫、做些零活和缝补，但要知道这些技能是无用的。聪明的女孩应该有野心，但女人要克制自己。女人要保持苗条。

多年后，她的自我控制变得危险，Sarah 发现自己进了急诊室。她青少年时期的厌食症复发成了医疗紧急情况，迫使她考虑所有她拒绝拥有勤奋的身体和疯狂思考的事情。

本书讲述了少女时代充满争议的记忆、困扰莎拉每一个想法的无情和控制的声音合唱，以及她可以自由奔放的写作和书籍。这本回忆录美丽、大胆、感人且非常有趣，是一次非凡的锻炼，展示了大脑如何自我反省，然后找到出路。

该书是《星期日泰晤士报》畅销书《夏日之水》的作者莎拉·莫斯的回忆录，与众不同。

“强迫性和引人入胜”——艾米莉·派恩

“直面作为一个试图找到生存方式的女人意味着什么”——简·卡森

“莫斯如此富有同情心地描写了人类的弱点，而她自己的作品几乎是小说家所能达到的理想程度”——《泰晤士报》

A memoir about thinking and reading, eating and denying your body food, about the relationships that form us and the long tentacles of young life.

In the household of Sarah Moss's young life she learnt that the female body and mind were battlegrounds. 1970s austerity and second-wave feminism came together: she must keep herself slim but never be vain, she must be intelligent but never angry, she must be able to cook and sew and make do and mend, but know those skills were frivolous. Clever girls should be ambitious but women must restrain themselves. Women had to stay small.

Years later, her self-control had become dangerous, and Sarah found herself in A&E. The return of her teenage anorexia had become a medical emergency, forcing her to reckon with all that she had denied her hard-working body and furiously turning mind.

My Good Bright Wolf navigates contested memories of girlhood, the chorus of relentless and controlling voices that dogged Sarah’s every thought, and the writing and books in which she could run free. Beautiful, audacious, moving and very funny, this memoir is a remarkable exercise in the way a brain turns on itself, and then finds a way out.

From Sarah Moss, the Sunday Times bestselling author of Summerwater, My Good Bright Wolf is a memoir like no other.

'Compulsive and compelling' - Emilie Pine

‘Confronts what it means to be a woman trying to find a way to be’ - Jan Carson

'Moss writes so compassionately about human frailty while her own work is as close to perfect as a novelist’s can be' - The Times
