Falso espejo

Jia Tolentino is an incomparable voice when it comes to addressing the conflicts, contradictions and changes that define our present time. In this collection of essays, written with a masterful combination of ingenuity and courage, he delves into the factors that distort, sometimes without realizing it, our way of looking at the world. False Mirror is a book about how difficult it is to see ourselves clearly in these times, so given to a culture that revolves around the yo-yo-yo. Tolentino writes about what it meant for her to grow up with the Internet, about her way of taking addiction to social networks and about the secret relationships between using MDMA and believing in God. Why does society turn brave girls into depressed teenagers and bitter adults? Why is wearing a tracksuit all of a sudden the coolest thing in the world? What goes on in the minds of those who dream of being famous on reality television? Ideas and questions about contemporary life.
