"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.

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。。
评分这本书让我思考，回忆录回忆的是什么？回忆录书写的对回忆的reflection，是经过艺术手法的再创造。
