Описание: A breakout writer at The New Yorker examines the fractures at the center of contemporary culture with verve, deftness, and intellectual ferocity--for readers who've wondered what Susan Sontag would have been like if she had brain damage from the internet.

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.

Описание: Mary Denk Tolentino-Duprey was born into a family of ten, with seven brothers and two sisters, in a little town called Whispering Pines. In the midst of poverty, she and her family struggled against the odds in the face of adversities daily. They were held together by a common thread, the love their mother and grandmother had for each of them. In Furnace of Affliction, Tolentino-Duprey shares her story. Her observations from childhood experiences are written in simple, detailed descriptions that reveal the love she had for God, her family, and nature, which overpowered the bleak days and nights of darkness, cold, and hunger. She tells how a whole new world opened up after living with another family for six months. Filled with positive and inspiring messages, Furnace of Affliction narrates anecdotes from Tolentino-Duprey's young life, and she discusses how God helped carry her through the difficult and challenging times.
