"I spent five years of my life being treated for cancer, but since then I've spent fifteen years being treated for nothing other than looking different from everyone else. It was the pain from that, from feeling ugly, that I always viewed as the great tragedy of my life. The fact that I had cancer seemed minor in comparison." At age nine, Lucy Grealy was diagnosed with a potentially terminal cancer. When she returned to school with a third of her jaw removed, she faced the cruel taunts of classmates. In this strikingly candid memoir, Grealy tells her story of great suffering and remarkable strength without sentimentality and with considerable wit. Vividly portraying the pain of peer rejection and the guilty pleasures of wanting to be special, Grealy captures with unique insight what it is like as a child and young adult to be torn between two warring impulses: to feel that more than anything else we want to be loved for who we are, while wishing desperately and secretly to be perfect.

感恩audio book的2倍速强行加快我的眼动速度，得以第一次一天刷完了一本书...很美很subjective，只是告诉你“我”在每个人生阶段是怎么想的，是鸡汤还是毒鸡汤，留给读者自己去熬。她的很多想法counter-intuitive但是在细致的reasoning下变得无比合理，一方面让我理解了很多people with facial disfigurement的感觉，另一方面竟通过她的讲解理解了一部分自卑的自己。但最终该作者还是死于drug overdose。确实，不是每一次自我救赎都会成功，不是每一个人都活到了完全自洽，不是每一份感情都能真正感同身受——也许是悲，又值得庆幸？after all, it is uniqueness that proves our worth...？

女主角并不把自己写得可爱值得同情，故事一点不鸡汤励志，不错

纠结吧你就。真觉得文化领域的女权主义是自己跟自己不痛快 = =||| 你难道不承认最伟大的作家们都是男性的么？即便现在女性有更多职业选择了，真正广受学术界好评的女作家其实都是男性化了的。。比如安兰德。。然而有几个女会选择像她那样思考……女人要正视自己风花雪月的本性。。不要徒劳了。。
