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...

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
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...
评分這本書比想象中的好看很多哎，而且越往後發展越好看。後半部分Jane和Akiko兩個女人的聯係越發的纏繞明顯，那種生命中重要的時刻都連貫起來的感覺，好棒。很喜歡Jane這個人物，有點想責怪她但是又不忍心的心情真是令我。。難受！Akiko走齣第一步之後就很棒瞭，找迴自己的勇氣是一件很值得驕傲的事情。不知道為什麼這種羈絆能令我想起NANA呢。。憂桑
评分要重讀
