The Self Unstable by Elisa Gabbert
4.0
'People think of themselves as something behind their eyes. First person shooter. It's fun to be the player, but boring to watch. Writing is narcissistic, but without narcissism we'd have nothing to read. We do most things only in order to say we have done them, an ethical alternative to lying. Your "desert island movie" is not the same as your favourite movie' p.62
I loved this book, although I would often fall in love with the aphorism somewhere in the middle of the paragraph and then despise the last sentence. Very interesting to be able to have such a complex relationship with such small but clearly fine tuned pieces of writing.
