Unbearable Lightnessby Portia de Rossi |
Wanda Cohen: I feel like Portia sliced open her
body, soul and heart, and ripped out this book, one painful page at a time. Her description of her
years of dieting and eating disorders is graphic and honest. In some places it is almost too
intense to read. Her courage and her incredible writing talent make this book a moving look at who
she was and how her life was taken over by calorie counting and obsessive exercising and who she is now.
You find yourself alternately angry at her and pulling for her. A part of you might also identify with
her as we all, at some point in our lives, have struggled with the belief that our body is less than perfect.
Rating: ****
