Descriere
The author of the international sensation The Vagina Monologues, is back, this time to rock views of what it means to have a good body. She is joined by the voices of women from L.A. to Kabul, whose obsessions are also laid bare. nBotox, bulimia, breast implants: Eve Ensler, author of the international sensation The Vagina Monologues, is back, this time to rock our view of what it means to have a good body. In the 1950s, Eve writes, girls were pretty, perky.
They had a blond Clairol wave in their hair. They wore girdles and waist-pinchers. . . . In recent years good girls join the army.
They climb the corporate ladder. They go to the gym. . . . They wear painful pointy shoes.
They don't eat too much. They . . . don't eat at all. They stay perfect.
They stay thin. I could never be good. n nThe Good Body starts with Eve's tortured relationship with her own post-forties stomach and her skirmishes with everything from Ab Rollers to fad diets and fascistic trainers in an attempt get the flabby badness out. As Eve hungrily seeks self-acceptance, she is joined by the voices of women from L.A. to Kabul, whose obsessions are also laid bare: A young Latina candidly critiques her humiliating spread, a stubborn layer of fat that she calls a second pair of thighs.
The wife of a plastic surgeon recounts being systematically reconstructed-inch by inch-by her perfectionist husband. An aging magazine executive, still haunted by her mother's long-ago criticism, describes her desperate pursuit of youth as she relentlessly does sit-ups. nAlong the way, Eve also introduces us to women who have found a hard-won peace with their bodies: an African mother who celebrates each individual body as signs of nature's diversity; an Indian woman who transcends treadmill mania and delights in her plump cheeks and curves; and a veiled Afghani woman who is willing to risk imprisonment for a taste of ice cream. These are just a few of the inspiring stories woven through Eve's global journey from obsession to enlightenment.
Ultimately, these monologues become a personal wake-up call from Eve to love the good bodies we inhabit.n
