Elizabeth Gilbert is an award-winning writer of both fiction and non-fiction. Her short story collection Pilgrims was a finalist for the PEN/Hemingway award, and her novel Stern Men was a New York Times notable book. In 2002, she published The Last American Man, which was a finalist for both the National Book Award and the National Book Critic’s Circle Award. She is best known for her 2006 memoir Eat, Pray, Love, which was published in more than thirty languages.
At the end of her bestselling memoir Eat, Pray, Love, Elizabeth Gilbert fell in love with Felipe, a Brazilian-born man of Australian citizenship who’d been living in Indonesia when they met. Resettling in America, the couple swore eternal fidelity to each other, but also swore to never, ever, under any circumstances get legally married. (Both were survivors of previous horrific divorces. Enough said.) But providence intervened one day in the form of the United States government, which—after unexpectedly detaining Felipe at an American border crossing—gave the couple a choice: they could either get married, or Felipe would never be allowed to enter the country again. Having been effectively sentenced to wed, Gilbert tackled her fears of marriage by delving into this topic completely, trying with all her might to discover through historical research, interviews, and much personal reflection what this stubbornly enduring old institution actually is. Told with Gilbert’s trademark wit, intelligence and compassion, Committed attempts to “turn on all the lights” when it comes to matrimony, frankly examining questions of compatibility, infatuation, fidelity, family tradition, social expectations, divorce risks and humbling responsibilities. Gilbert’s memoir is ultimately a clear-eyed celebration of love with all the complexity and consequence that real love, in the real world, actually entails.
This is the second book I've read from Liz Gilbert. Apparently this one is not as riveting as her phenomenal best-seller e.p.l. but still it's worth the reading. I was most impressed by the consciousness behind each and every word Gilbert wrote in const...

作者用了1本书的篇幅告诉我们文艺女青年(这里包括中老年)是有多折腾。你据理力争翻遍所有文献问过所有人之后的选择跟别人一拍脑袋作出的决定有何差别?当然你说这样你走的更加坚定自信。切,whatever。
评分#Not a fan of Eat Pray Love to begin with, but I like her writing style, so there you go.
评分刚巧碰上我感情陷入困惑迫切想看情感分析的时机。一开始觉得作者过分纠结过分解读,说到底还是自己没有底气,但到后来慢慢察觉到感情世界就是如此纠缠不清,女性特有的细腻才能写尽。会推荐给每个女朋友看。
评分"The dangerously, frighteningly overanticipated follow up" to her freakish success of Eat, Pray, Love
