Trick Mirror is an enlightening, unforgettable trip through the river of self-delusion that surges just beneath the surface of our lives. This is a book about the incentives that shape us, and about how hard it is to see ourselves clearly in a culture that revolves around the self. In each essay, Jia writes about the cultural prisms that have shaped her: the rise of the nightmare social internet; the American scammer as millennial hero; the literary heroine’s journey from brave to blank to bitter; the mandate that everything, including our bodies, should always be getting more efficient and beautiful until we die.
Jia Tolentino is a staff writer at the New Yorker, formerly the deputy editor at Jezebel and a contributing editor at the Hairpin. She grew up in Texas, went to University of Virginia, and got her MFA in fiction from the University of Michigan. She’s represented by Amy Williams and has a book of essays called Trick Mirror forthcoming from Random House in August. Her work has appeared in the New York Times, the New York Times Magazine, TIME, Grantland, Slate, Pitchfork, Bon Appetit, SPIN, and Fader. She has a dog, clearly, and lives in Brooklyn.
No matter how trivial they might seem, cultural trends like our social media addictions, celebrity obsessions, and love for lavish weddings can help us better understand our social, political, and economic systems. They are trick mirrors that reflect not only our personal identities and relationships – but also shape the world we inhabit.
评分not in the mood
评分poignant, witty, self-absorbed 路数太近 不能多读
评分可能2019年最喜欢的非虚构之一。Jia Tolentino讨论时事的framing非常厉害,观察入微,不时有令人拍案的金句。但这可能算是一部写给echo chamber内部的“爽文”,是well-read/well-educated liberal middle class内部的一次身份确认。 最喜欢:The I in the Internet, Ecstasy, We Come From Old Virginia。 最不喜欢:The Story of a Generation in Seven Scams (完全没有得到新的信息和point of view)
