摘要

玛吉·安·马丁(Maggie Ann Martin)的《诚实》(To Be Honest)对瘦妈妈和胖女儿之间的关系动态进行了发人深省的探讨,这是年轻成人小说的主题,比如朱莉·墨菲(2015)的《Dumplin》,艾米·斯伯丁(Amy Spalding)的《Jordi Perez的夏天》(2018),以及克里斯托·马尔多纳多(2021)的《Fat Chance, Charlie Vega》。然而,母女之间不寻常的关系缺乏深度,强化了与体重有关的刻板印象,最终助长了新身体新我的比喻。这部青少年小说讲述了肥胖少年萨凡纳·阿尔弗森的故事,她是印第安纳州郊区一所高中的高三学生。她“瘦长”的妹妹阿什利·阿尔弗森(Ashley Alverson)刚刚搬去上大学,留下她独自在家和母亲金·阿尔弗森(Kim Alverson)呆在一起,两人的关系很复杂。他们的父母最近离婚了,全家人都要适应新的生活环境。剧情发展的核心是,金·阿尔弗森(Kim Alverson)在与体重“斗争”了一辈子之后,通过参加一个虚构的真人秀节目《甩掉体重》(Shake the weight),成功减掉了大量体重。由于最近生活方式的改变,Kim Alverson试图将自己的习惯强加给女儿,通过控制她的饮食,要求她在社交活动之前吃一些“健康”的东西,并扔掉“不好的”高热量食物。金·阿尔弗森毫不含糊地代表了饮食文化的邪恶,甚至是它的缩影。这些场景展示了饮食文化的危害,以及家庭中肥胖歧视的现实,尤其是肥胖女儿和苗条母亲之间的歧视。《摇一摇体重》栏目再次来到这对母女的家中,采访她们减肥后的情况。萨凡纳在国家电视台上的评论被扭曲了,给两人带来了负面影响,正如人们所期望的那样,这加深了母女之间的分歧。与之形成鲜明对比的是,萨凡纳被描绘成一个肥胖的激进分子,尽管她偶尔会对自己的身体、自我价值和吸引力感到不安。萨凡纳对她母亲新的饮食和锻炼习惯有着明确的反对意见。在一场关于萨凡纳饮食选择的激烈争论中,萨凡纳阐明了她对自己身体的立场:

To Be Honest
To Be Honest by Maggie Ann Martin provides a thought-provoking take on the thinmother-fat-daughter relationship dynamics that are a theme in young adult novels such as Dumplin’ by Julie Murphy (2015), My Summer of Jordi Perez by Amy Spalding (2018), and Fat Chance, Charlie Vega by Crystal Maldonado (2021). However, the unusual relationship between mother and daughter is missing depth, reinforces weight-related stereotypes, and ultimately feeds into the new-body-new-me trope. The young adult novel follows the fat teenager Savannah Alverson, a senior at a high school in suburban Indiana. Ashley Alverson, her “re lanky” sister, has just moved away to college, leaving her alone at home with her mother, Kim Alverson, with whom she has a complicated relationship. Their parents divorced recently, and the whole family has to adjust to new living situations. Most central to the plot development, Kim Alverson lost an extreme amount of weight by joining a made-up reality TV show Shake the Weight after “struggling” with her weight throughout her life. Because of her recent lifestyle changes, Kim Alverson tries to impose her habits onto her daughter by regulating what she eats, asking her to eat something “healthy” before social events, and throwing away “bad” highcalorie foods. Kim Alverson unequivocally represents and even epitomizes the evils of diet culture. These scenes showcase the harms of diet cultures and the realities of fat discrimination in family homes, especially between fat daughters and thin mothers. Shake the Weight comes back to the family home to interview the mother and daughter about how they are doing after the weight loss. Savannah’s comments on national television get twisted and put a negative light on the two, as one would expect from such productions, which deepens the division between mother and daughter. In stark contrast, Savannah is portrayed as a fat activist despite occasional insecurities about her body, self-worth, and desirability. Savannah has a clear, opposing opinion regarding her mother’s new eating and exercise rituals. In a heated argument about Savannah’s eating choices, Savannah articulates her stance on her body:
