Я думаю, що найбільше у цій книзі зустрічається слово «я». Така американська есеїстика, що мене почало аж нудити.
До речі моя позиція у питанні проста: у світі створюються мільйони книг, фільмів чи пісень. Невже так складно не споживати те, що створено монстром?

this is good. it’s well researched and dederer raises several important questions and points. it’s a tad overlong, and some chapters felt tangential, but enjoyable throughout. there is no grand stand taken here, but there are rarely easy answers in the realms of beauty and monstrosity.

great!!
much easier to read and definitely a whole lot funnier than I'd expected. Dederer has a great, conversational, tone that makes her thesis feel interesting, pretty breezy, from start to finish. I don't think she always takes the easiest path to that thesis statement however; some chapters are more obviously serving as bridges from one point to another and not each chapter is equally as successful as each other. it does still contain some really excellent writing on Wagner, Hemingway, Picasso, Nabokov, Raymond Carver, and more. really multifaceted perspectives that make you admire the amount of ground Dederer is covering, and how easily she's doing it. she's ultimately providing a sharp and insightful, strong, exploration of experience and understanding, rather than any guide or advice, a How to Witch Hunt, or Cancel Culture bible. happy to read this, happy to have had it as a birthday gift, happy to recommend it to pretty much anyone.
not as easy to blast through as I'd hoped, especially considering the amount I enjoyed it, but hardly tough to read, or stomach, if you're concerned.
