SUMMARY:True Reads Book Club - Trick Mirror: Reflections on Self-Delusion
DESCRIPTION:Come discuss the most interesting books in new Non-Fiction with our True Reads book club! Happening every 4-6 weeks hosted by Librairie Drawn & Quarterly staff. \nFor our OCTOBER meeting\, we’ll be reading Trick Mirror: Reflection on Self-Delusion by Jia Tolentino. The book club will meet at La Petite Librairie Drawn & Quarterly\, 176 Bernard Ouest at 7pm. This month’s meeting is hosted by Rachel. \nJia 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. \nTrick 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. \n**We offer a 20% discount on Trick Mirror: Reflection on Self-Delusion from now until the meeting date.**
