NO JUDGMENT - LAUREN OYLER GEBUNDEN

"The essay collection everyone’s talking about."— New York A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2024:
Elle   The Millions   LitHub   Nylon   BookPage   PureWow   and more From the national
bestselling novelist and essayist  a groundbreaking collection of brand-new pieces about the
role of cultural criticism in our ever-changing world. In her writing for Harper’s   the London
Review of Books   The New Yorker   and elsewhere  Lauren Oyler has emerged as one of the most
trenchant and influential critics of her generation  a talent whose judgments on works of
literature—whether celebratory or scarily harsh—have become notorious. But what is the
significance of being a critic and consumer of media in today’s fraught environment? How do we
understand ourselves  and each other  as space between the individual and the world seems to
get smaller and smaller  and our opinions on books and movies seem to represent something
essential about our souls? And to put it bluntly  why should you care what she—or
anyone—thinks? In this  her first collection of essays  Oyler writes with about topics like the
role of gossip in our exponentially communicative society  the rise and proliferation of
autofiction  why we’re all so “vulnerable” these days  and her own anxiety. In her singular
prose—sharp yet addictive  expansive yet personal—she encapsulates the world we live and think
in with precision and care  delivering a work of cultural criticism as only she can. Bringing
to mind the works of such iconic writers as Susan Sontag  Pauline Kael  and Terry Castle  No
Judgment is a testament to Lauren Oyler’s inimitable wit and her quest to understand how we
shape the world through culture. It is a sparkling nonfiction debut from one of today’s most
inventive thinkers.
