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.
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.

not in the mood
评分poignant, witty, self-absorbed 路数太近 不能多读
评分可以减成半本.. a lot of talking to herself. 但是一些观点就超级击中!为了这些观点还是值得一看
评分三星半。第一次读的作者。Jia Tolentino 对”热点事件“和它们在媒体获得的论调都非常熟悉,可以把很多并不直接相关的内容联系在一起,形成独特的论述角度。优点是读着爽(而且信息量也比较大,可以说是不每天关注新闻的人的绝佳复习材料),但要说有什么深刻的/值得一提的“收获”好像也谈不上。Ecstasy 和 We Come From Old Virginia 两篇比较出彩。应该会继续关注 Tolentino 的作品~
评分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.
