5.0
When I’m reading Lauren Oyler, there’s nowhere I’d rather be. Her essay on gossip ("Embarrassment, Panic, Opprobrium, Job Loss, Etc.") takes a million brilliantly sharp corners.
Her incredibly honest, maddeningly clever exploration of life as an artsy-American-in-Berlin, "Why Do You Live Here?" explains why expats like her desperately distinguish themselves from tourists: "Tourists harsh the vibe."
She titles her piece about online reviews and book criticism “My Perfect Opinions,” and she’s not wrong.
