reviewed Thank You for Not Reading: Essays on Literary Trivia on October 02, 2019 Thank You for Not Reading: Essays on Literary Trivia
An awesome collection of essays by Dubravka Ugresic.
Witty, sarcastic, compelling. Funny to see that despite most of them were written more than 20 years ago, the so-called literary market hasn't changed at all. I found this collection truthful and hilarious, but the casual reader might find it somewhat depressing. The essay on cynicism is pure perfection (gosh, in 2019 students still ask if a fiction book is based on reality, and fewer and fewer people understand irony, which is both sad and terrifying).
A must-read for everyone: writers, writers-readers, readers who want to be writers, readers who think they know a lot about literature without actually knowing, and any other combination one may find suitable.
