Ann Patchett and the late Lucy Grealy met in college in 1981, and, after enrolling in the Iowa Writer's Workshop, began a friendship that would be as defining to both of their lives as their work. In Grealy's critically acclaimed memior, Autobiography of a Face , she wrote about losing part of her jaw to childhood cancer, years of chemotherapy and radiation, and endless reconstructive surgeries. In Truth & Beauty , the story isn't Lucy's life or Ann's life, but the parts of their lives they shared. This is a portrait of unwavering commitment that spans twenty years, from the long winters of the Midwest, to surgical wards, to book parties in New York. Through love, fame, drugs, and despair, this is what it means to be part of two lives that are intertwined ... and what happens when one is left behind. This is a tender, brutal book about loving the person we cannot save. It is about loyalty, and being lifted up by the sheer effervescence of someone who knew how to live life to the fullest.

“Love, in her imagination, was so dazzling, so tender and so unconditional that anything human seemed impossibly thin by comparison."

评分看前3/4我都觉得我仍然愿意选择做一个不为过冬屯食物的蚱蜢，看到被过于悲剧化的人生捅得支离破碎最后再也站不起来的蚱蜢的结局，我仿佛也无法坚定和任性了。不是我会成为一个集聚真善美于一身的蚂蚁，是想象这种会附加于他人的枷锁让我妥协。In the first place, I might not be lucky and charming enough to be entitled a wholeheartedly committed unconditional love as such. I wish to die with decency and without pain or regret, especially not regret.
