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)

读后感
Akiko的使命之一是担负买避孕套的重责。在药店里她开不了口，日落黄昏，她得挣扎过自己的害羞，去巷子角落的自动贩卖机买。慌忙间她买错了牌子，担心挨丈夫骂，那让她难堪。 她一面绕远路走回家，一面故意想些分散注意力的仿佛有趣的问题。 真让人心疼，书写得意外好。有点想慢...

以英文写作的亚裔女作家里，Ruth L Ozeki自有其深度。日本文化的温婉，美国背景的直率，小说里讲述食品行业和媒体行业种种，人文关怀和犀利披露都令人深受触动。
评分Mar 16, 2013 It's an very interesting and very realistic book. The book uses of a variety of genres to reveal and uncover the stories of the meat industry in the States, which is somehow disgusting. There is also a large depiction of how women are oppressed by the patriarchal society. The book gives me a in depth look into the social expectat
