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.

最推荐Ecstasy(真·神来之笔)跟We come from old virginia两篇,真人秀那篇非常搞笑,I thee dread里闲笔一写自己的爱情就很感人。练习写作需要很多很多的积累和努力,但有些sensibilities可能是天生的。
评分new yorker上的短篇就很喜欢了,对当代文化的分析好有自己的见解文笔又超级好,看得很过瘾又很羡慕才30岁就展现的耀眼的才华。作为女人跟少数族裔对自己的立场与这个社会对这两种群体种种局限都好清醒。啊真的很少羡慕谁但是她写的我就真的羡慕
评分We are all bad people by default in living in this bad world or just bad people who don't realize that yet. Overall super insightful although sometimes I wish her voice could be more focused/assertive and less expansive.
评分带着“不过是快餐文化”的偏见开始读,竟然无比喜欢。2019读过的书里面,可排前三名。
评分this book makes me want to cry so bad right now
