Veteran filmaker Ruth Ozeki's novel has been hailed as "one of the heartiest and yes, meatiest debuts in years" (Glamour). It tells the story of a year in the lives of two ordinary women on opposite ends of the earth, brought together by a convergence of extraordinary circumstances. Jane, a struggling filmmaker in New York, is given her big break--a chance to travel through the U.S. to produce a Japanese television program sponsored by an American meat exporting business. But along the way, she discovers some unsavory truths about love, honor, and a particularly damaging hormone called DES that wreaks havoc with her uterus. Meanwhile, Akiko, a painfully thin Japanese woman struggling with bulimia, is being pressured by her child-craving husband to put some meat on her bones--literally. How Jane's and Akiko's lives intersect taps into some of the deepest concerns of our time--how the past informs the present and how we live and love in an ever-shrinking world.
A cross-cultural, tragi-comic romp through America and Japan that is "wonderfully wild and bracing . . . a feast that leaves you hungry for whatever Ozeki cooks up next" (Newsweek).
"Ozeki masks a deeper purpose with a light tone. . . . A comical-satirical-farcical-epical-tragical-romantical novel." -Jane Smiley, Chicago Tribune Book Review (front page)
Akiko的使命之一是擔負買避孕套的重責。在藥店裏她開不瞭口,日落黃昏,她得掙紮過自己的害羞,去巷子角落的自動販賣機買。慌忙間她買錯瞭牌子,擔心挨丈夫罵,那讓她難堪。 她一麵繞遠路走迴傢,一麵故意想些分散注意力的仿佛有趣的問題。 真讓人心疼,書寫得意外好。有點想慢...

要重讀
评分其實也是種族主義和物種主義的並行瞭,其實本可以有更多關於身而為人的反省的。又想起爸媽把丟丟關在這麼小的房間裡...
评分為瞭做功課讀的,讀得算是很認真,視角獨特,三個人的角度都很深刻也頗有戲謔的味道。不過沒有打五星的衝動
评分對日常瑣碎的細節描寫,和對女性心理活動的展開,都好日本啊
评分以英文寫作的亞裔女作傢裏,Ruth L Ozeki自有其深度。日本文化的溫婉,美國背景的直率,小說裏講述食品行業和媒體行業種種,人文關懷和犀利披露都令人深受觸動。
