Jia Tolentino is a peerless voice of her generation, tackling the conflicts, contradictions, and sea changes that define us and our time. Now, in this dazzling collection of nine entirely original essays, written with a rare combination of give and sharpness, wit and fearlessness, she delves into the forces that warp our vision, demonstrating an unparalleled stylistic potency and critical dexterity.

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 through a culture that revolves around the self. In each essay, Tolentino writes about a cultural prism: the rise of the nightmare social internet; the advent of scamming as the definitive millennial ethos; the literary heroine’s journey from brave to blank to bitter; the punitive dream of optimization, which insists that everything, including our bodies, should become more efficient and beautiful until we die. Gleaming with Tolentino’s sense of humor and capacity to elucidate the impossibly complex in an instant, and marked by her desire to treat the reader with profound honesty, Trick Mirror is an instant classic of the worst decade yet.

    I believe it was probably meant for an (American) audience that is overtly connected (and perhaps even celebrity obsessed), but I did learn a few things along the way. I'm not sure these can be all considered as proper essays, as they often feel more like a recap of a lot of information mixed within well-opinionated rants. Some parts were quite eye-opening though. It's almost a shame each chapter is so very long because at times, I sort of lost the sense of what this was really about, even if there are passages I found really enlightening. I'm not sure I can really relate to anything that was said by Jia Tolentino here but as a casual observer, but I might still go back to a couple of the pieces later on

    This was interesting!
