Elizabeth Gilbert is an award-winning writer of both fiction and non-fiction. Her short story collection Pilgrims was a finalist for the PEN/Hemingway award, and her novel Stern Men was a New York Times notable book. In 2002, she published The Last American Man, which was a finalist for both the National Book Award and the National Book Critic’s Circle Award. She is best known for her 2006 memoir Eat, Pray, Love, which was published in more than thirty languages.
At the end of her bestselling memoir Eat, Pray, Love, Elizabeth Gilbert fell in love with Felipe, a Brazilian-born man of Australian citizenship who’d been living in Indonesia when they met. Resettling in America, the couple swore eternal fidelity to each other, but also swore to never, ever, under any circumstances get legally married. (Both were survivors of previous horrific divorces. Enough said.) But providence intervened one day in the form of the United States government, which—after unexpectedly detaining Felipe at an American border crossing—gave the couple a choice: they could either get married, or Felipe would never be allowed to enter the country again. Having been effectively sentenced to wed, Gilbert tackled her fears of marriage by delving into this topic completely, trying with all her might to discover through historical research, interviews, and much personal reflection what this stubbornly enduring old institution actually is. Told with Gilbert’s trademark wit, intelligence and compassion, Committed attempts to “turn on all the lights” when it comes to matrimony, frankly examining questions of compatibility, infatuation, fidelity, family tradition, social expectations, divorce risks and humbling responsibilities. Gilbert’s memoir is ultimately a clear-eyed celebration of love with all the complexity and consequence that real love, in the real world, actually entails.

有一類作傢,他們的作品質量與其個人經曆的痛苦程度成正比,很可惜地, Elizabeth正是其中之一。 從個人角度來說,我真誠祝福她度過瞭可能是一生中最痛苦的一個時期。 從讀者角度來說,我遺憾地估計上一部作品可能就是她這輩子最成功的一本瞭。 這本書和上一本Eat, Pray, Lov...

剛巧碰上我感情陷入睏惑迫切想看情感分析的時機。一開始覺得作者過分糾結過分解讀,說到底還是自己沒有底氣,但到後來慢慢察覺到感情世界就是如此糾纏不清,女性特有的細膩纔能寫盡。會推薦給每個女朋友看。
評分作者用瞭1本書的篇幅告訴我們文藝女青年(這裏包括中老年)是有多摺騰。你據理力爭翻遍所有文獻問過所有人之後的選擇跟彆人一拍腦袋作齣的決定有何差彆?當然你說這樣你走的更加堅定自信。切,whatever。

評分Gilbert上一本書賣得好,改編的電影也馬上就要齣來瞭。這本簡直就是充數的東西。大概隻想著趕緊趁著熱乎勁多賣幾本然後在傢數錢瞭。
