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.

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
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。
評分不時在Jia十分self-aware的長難句和她活躍的IG人格裏跳躍,現在作傢不活在自我隔絕的小島上瞭,活在社交媒體/真人秀/兄弟會派對/沙拉素食店,活在底色明亮的均衡人生和帶有輕微自我厭惡的女權放大鏡下瞭。真好啊。
評分三星半。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~
