NO JUDGEMENT - LAUREN OYLER KARTONIERT (TB)

I heard this crazy story  and I want you to know. It is the age of internet gossip  of social
networks  repackaged ideas and rating everything out of five stars. Mega-famous celebrities
respond with fury to critics who publish less-than-rapturous reviews of their work (and then
delete their tweets)  CEOs talk about reclaiming 'the power of vulnerability'  and in the world
of fiction  writers eschew actually making things up in favour of 'always just talking about
themselves'. In this blistering  irreverent and very funny first book of non-fiction  Lauren
Oyler - one of the most trenchant  influential  and revelatory critics of her generation -
takes on the bizarre particularities of our present moment in a series of interconnected essays
about literature  the attention economy  gossip  the role of criticism and her own relentless 
teeth-grinding anxiety. Illuminating and thought-provoking  by turns drily scathing and
disarmingly open  No Judgement excavates the layers of psychology and meaning in how we
communicate  tell stories and make critical judgements - to offer dazzling insights into how we
live and think today.
