Trick Mirror: Reflections on Self-Delusion by Jia Tolentino
4.0
4.5*
An absolute pleasure - Insanely witty. So smart. I had to carry a pencil with me at all times while reading this so I could do the appropriate amount of underlining to do this book justice. SUCH AN ELOQUENT JOY. I am forever jealous that I have not written anything half as apt. Yet.
Yes, a lot of it were arguments I’d heard before or takes we knew of. Yes, most of us had read sorkin’s screenplay for tsn and are capable of adlibing mark’s vlogging voice over at the drop of a hat. No? Anyways - just went over the reviews here - while I do agree that some of the takes in this book are far from “hot,” I maintain that I love Tolentino’s voice so much that I don’t care. What I do care about is that some of the essays go on and on and on and on and really don’t need to. I’m sorry, but nobody gives that many fucks about weddings.
