摘要

"6 Whilst it may seem a spurious suggestion that a book might trigger or encourage an eating disorder, Hornbacher herself explains how, upon reading The Best Little Girl in the World, Steven Levenkron's "rather romanticized" novel about anorexia nervosa, she "wanted to be [that girl]: withdrawn, reserved . .. wholly absorbed in her own obsession. [...]the suggestion that Samuel Richardson's 1747-48 novel Clarissa-wherein the eponymous heroine willfully starves herself to death and has been described by Maud Ellmann as a "literary anorectic"-harmed young women readers by "discomposing their stomachs" presents a curious similarity to contemporary concerns about the dangers of reading accounts of self-starvation. 10 Certainly, it would be specious to posit that Hornbacher's book is capable of spontaneously causing anorexia nervosa-it has not been established that any text can trigger the disorder in healthy individuals-but there does appear to be a special relationship between particular writing and reading practices and anorexia identity formation and maintenance for some readers with a predisposition to eating disorders.
