Abstract：
This article analyses two young adult (YA) novels about young men\'s experience of anorexia nervosa (AN), within the dual contexts of medical humanities research into literary depictions of illness, and the broader field of YA literature about AN. While emphasising the importance of diverse literary narratives in order to raise awareness of the prevalence of AN in men and boys, and to contribute to the reduction of stigma, it also considers current research into the potentially harmful triggering effects of AN literature on vulnerable readers. It identifies Anne Percin\'s Point de côté (Side Stitch) (2006) and Simon Boulerice\'s Jeanne Moreau a le sourire à l\'envers (Jeanne Moreau Has An Upside-Down Smile) (2013) as examples of good practice in AN literature, due to their thematic focus on male experience, and because they employ narrative strategies that disrupt reader identification with the anorexic character, and avoid focusing directly on potentially triggering descriptions of anorexic ideas and behaviour. They also contribute to diversifying the portrayal of AN via non-judgmental portrayal of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) themes, a topic absent from equivalent YA novels currently available in English. The article further argues that literature-including fiction-contributes to the overall social and cultural discourse surrounding specific illnesses and is likely to affect patients\' real-world experiences, but that it is a specific kind of discourse in its own right, which demands to be read with the appropriate tools. Its detailed analysis of narrative voice alongside thematic content demonstrates how specific approaches from the field of literary studies may complement empirical research into literature and its place within mental health discourse.
摘要：
本文分析了两部关于年轻人神经性厌食症（AN）的经历的年轻成人（YA）小说，在医学人文研究对疾病文学描述的双重背景下，以及关于AN的更广泛的YA文学领域。在强调多样化文学叙事的重要性的同时，为了提高人们对男性和男孩中AN的普遍性的认识，并有助于减少耻辱，它还考虑了当前对文学对弱势读者的潜在有害触发影响的研究。它确定了AnnePercin的Pointdecóté（边缝）（2006年）和SimonBoulerice的JeanneMoreaualesourireàl'envers（JeanneMoreauHasAUpside-DownSmile）（2013年）作为文学中良好实践的示例，由于他们的主题关注男性经验，因为他们采用的叙事策略破坏了读者对厌食症特征的认同，避免直接关注可能引发厌食症的想法和行为的描述。它们还有助于通过对女同性恋的非判断性刻画来使AN的刻画多样化，同性恋,双性恋,和变性者（LGBT）主题，目前可用英语的同等YA小说中缺少的主题。文章进一步指出，包括小说在内的文学有助于围绕特定疾病的整体社会和文化话语，并可能影响患者的现实世界体验。但它本身就是一种特定的话语，需要用适当的工具阅读。它对叙事声音和主题内容的详细分析表明，文学研究领域的具体方法如何补充文学及其在心理健康话语中的地位的实证研究。
