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文筆很犀利 很喜歡第一篇Internet 還有講optimizing women和difficult women的兩篇。ecstasy + 最後一篇講暖不啦嘰的愛情的,十分可愛呢!
评分第一篇寫互聯網最針砭時弊。文筆很好,但有的essay寫的太繞,材料和個人經曆堆瞭一大堆,核心都在最後。
评分可以減成半本.. a lot of talking to herself. 但是一些觀點就超級擊中!為瞭這些觀點還是值得一看
评分三星半。第一次讀的作者。Jia Tolentino 對”熱點事件“和它們在媒體獲得的論調都非常熟悉,可以把很多並不直接相關的內容聯係在一起,形成獨特的論述角度。優點是讀著爽(而且信息量也比較大,可以說是不每天關注新聞的人的絕佳復習材料),但要說有什麼深刻的/值得一提的“收獲”好像也談不上。Ecstasy 和 We Come From Old Virginia 兩篇比較齣彩。應該會繼續關注 Tolentino 的作品~
评分Virtuosic blend of internet-humor and verbal gymnastics. Critiques on individualistic market feminism, the internet's cannibalization of selfhood, generation-defining scammer ethos. Discursive and offhandedly concluded at times. "More often than not, the essays here end up concluding with a well-articulated shrug of the shoulders."
