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.

圖書標籤: 美國 非虛構 NonFiction JiaTolentino Essays 非虛構; audiobook 2020
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.
評分作者的文筆非常犀利,見解也很獨特。這麼年輕的作傢思考得已經很深刻瞭。背景閱讀量很大,感覺很多時候需要迴去尋找資料纔能更加懂得作者想要錶達的意思。第一篇寫得最獨到,值得反復閱讀。
評分可能2019年最喜歡的非虛構之一。Jia Tolentino討論時事的framing非常厲害,觀察入微,不時有令人拍案的金句。但這可能算是一部寫給echo chamber內部的“爽文”,是well-read/well-educated liberal middle class內部的一次身份確認。 最喜歡:The I in the Internet, Ecstasy, We Come From Old Virginia。 最不喜歡:The Story of a Generation in Seven Scams (完全沒有得到新的信息和point of view)
評分first, how the internet is built to distend our sense of identity; second, how it encourages us to overvalue our opinions; third, how it maximizes our sense of opposition; fourth, how it cheapens our understanding of solidarity; and, finally, how it destroys our sense of scale.
評分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!
