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
這本書有大量美國社會文化和自身經曆的旁徵博引,字裏行間都透露著爽落,聰明和高知(褒義)。我自己的閱讀體驗是漸入佳境的,在適應瞭她的敘述方式後最後幾章聽得幾乎落淚。
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not in the mood
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."
