“Appetite is about eating, certainly, and that’s a piece of it that defines life for many woman… but it’s also about a much broader constellation for hungers and longings and needs. It is about the deeper wish – to partake of the world, to feel a sense of abundance and possibility about life, to experience pleasure. At heart, it’s about our abiding, often poorly articulated hunger for what they appear to have: joy, peace with body and soul, bounty.”
— Appetites: Why Women Want, by Caroline Knapp
在熱情、慾望與靈魂的長桌上，女子們正在上演一場又一場吃的舞蹈﹣﹣吃甚麼、吃多少、如何吃、選擇吃與不吃。 夏娃吃掉禁果、人魚喝下毒藥；邊界女子、挨餓女子、習舞女子……眾女子發問：我渴求甚麼？
關於耽溺與抑制／關於渴求／在食慾的漲潮與抑退之間／
「Appetites關於吃，對許多女人來講食慾是定義生命之事 …… 但 appetite 也是關於渴望與需要，
關於希望參與世界、感覺生命的豐富、體驗歡愉；這些希望常被女人痛苦地體驗。
實際上，它是關於我們對歡樂、身心寧靜、豐饒的持久的渴望。」
﹣《慾望》卡洛琳．柯奈普著
