J'ai beaucoup aimé ce roman, très bien écrit et maîtrisé. Il est très différent de la série, surtout dans la deuxième partie, et même si j'ai aimé la série je trouve le roman bien au-dessus. Le parcours de Plum, le personnage principal, fait réfléchir sérieusement et change notre regard sur les dictats de la mode et de l'image de soi. Une très belle histoire d'identité et de solidarité, de sororité.
J'adore ce livre sur un sujet hors du commun et une réflexion très particulière de l'auteure! je le recommande à tout le monde!I love this book, the subject is uncommon and the writer's reflexion is really particular. I would recommand it to all sorts of people!
This is a complicated book, not a lighthearted, fluffy romcom romp. That is not to insult the romcom--I am a big fan of fluffy and fun when I'm in the mood for it. Dietland, on the other hand, is a brutal, often hard to take, depiction of life as a woman.Told mainly through the lens of its 300-pound main character, Plum, this is a book that makes you cringe at the way society tends to treat people who don't fall within an "acceptable"--whatever that means--body type.However, the book is more than that as the narrative is framed as a deep, deep deconstruction of what drives the kind of discrimination and cruelty Plum faces. It's an exploration of themes of acceptability that encourage women to subvert their feelings and subject themselves to extreme dietary and beauty methods in order to fit into the narrow (quite literally) role society defines for them. The book is a pretty disturbing meditation on the ways women are encouraged to strive for a "best self" that has little to do with a woman's own happiness or interests in life.This aspect of the book in particular left me unsettled. It's as if Plum isn't a person, but a project. Rather than engaging with and living her life, she's put it on hold until a future version of herself can start living it. After being bombarded with messages both implicit and explicit, it's easy to see why she lives in the kind of stasis she does, and it's a state I think many women can probably relate to. It's sadly common for women to think things like "when I'm ten pounds thinner, I'll...", begging the question of what they'll do in the interim. Why do women often do this? Why not go out and live the life we have while we have it to live?I thought Plum herself was a good embodiment of the utter frustration, confusion, and outright pain of being a woman. This book tackles a lot--weight, beauty standards, porn, rape--precisely because women are bombarded with all of these things, often on a daily basis. In a startling scene, one character discusses this and then asks whether it could be considered a form of terrorism. I think there's something to that point.I could not put this book down, but I gave it four stars instead of five because I was uncomfortable with the violence, even though I suspect that's part of the point. After all, we live in a world where violence is disproportionately visited on women, and we're making very slow progress with changing that sad fact.
A friend recommended this book to me after I told her about my transition into an anti-diet lifestyle. I have been on this journey for a while now, as I have come to the conclusion after 30 years of dieting that it just doesn't work. This doesn't mean it's easy to give up on thoughts of dieting, so this book came at the perfect time! This book takes the reader on a fictional journey that exposes some of the prejudices we all fall for in the quest for the perfect body. Some of the parts of this book hit a little close to home--I had my own pre-packaged food journey--and some of the parts of the book were a bit graphic, but, with a similar outcome as some characters, the point was well taken. The way women view their worth as it's connected to their bodies is a problem, and this book serves as an apt metaphor.
I wanted to love this book. I still want to love this book. But the comp titles given for Sarai Walker's Dietland were dead on the money: books that came so close to giving the reader a body-positive heroine to root for and then falling short.When we first meet Plum, she's working for a magazine styled after Seventeen, answering fanmail and advice requests emailed to the magazine's editor-in-chief. She's also counting down the days until her scheduled bariatric surgery, which will provide her with the thin body she's always wanted. Everything is derailed when she finds she's being followed by a college-aged woman who leaves her a copy of a book revealing the secrets of a weight-loss company she'd once been a subscriber of, and Plum is dragged down the rabbit hole into a world of feminists who want to help her on the path to self-acceptance. Meanwhile, a vigilante group is wreaking havoc on society, going after rapists and other sex offenders who escaped justice.I often found myself having the same type of surreal reading experience I did reading Alison Wonderland, that I thought I knew where the book was headed and then it was suddenly derailed. Plum is a heroine I found I couldn't connect with, and while Walker has some really insightful things to say about body acceptance (I found myself highlighting compulsively at times), ultimately, Plum really didn't.The subplot that attempts to tie the whole novel together -- the vigilante/s known as "Jennifer" -- attempts to bring an Anonymous/V aspect to the story and lend it more gravitas. In the end, it leads to a distinct feeling that the author wrote herself into a corner and had to valiantly write her way out of it.I'm still thankful for last year's Dumplin', which gives me hope that there are more body positive books out there waiting to be written that won't leave me cold in the end.
