Description

A brilliant and addictive collection of brand-new essays on modern culture - from the author of the acclaimed novel Fake Accounts and one of America's sharpest and most provocative literary critics

The pre-eminent and most widely read critic of her generation

Expect it to be the most-discussed collection by a female essayist since Jia Tolentino's Trick Mirror

This is a seriously thought-provoking book ... fascinating, original, seductive. No Judgement made me want to live a little more

Entertaining and insightful ... self-deprecating, honest and witty ... well-chosen, timely subjects, tackled with a sharp mind

Oyler is a practitioner of what one might call autofictional criticism. Her essays frequently double as personal-romantic quests - there are often boyfriends in the background and allusions to melancholy - and are ingeniously self-reflexive. Very fun to read ... exhilarating and original

Brisk, honest and soaring with élan. Oyler persuasively advocates clear thinking through doing it herself with such poise. Her critical approach isn't currently common sense, but it should be, and soon enough maybe it will

Like stumbling into the best archival New Yorker essays - smart and unafraid and (thank God) funny. This is exactly what I want to read

Funny, insightful and bang on the money, No Judgement is a series of essays exploring where we're at right now. Covering everything from existential anxiety to the attention economy, it'll be everywhere this year

A collection of interconnected essays about, among other things, literature, gossip and the attention economy by the funny and pugnacious American critic Lauren Oyler (and I can hardly wait for it)

Lauren Oyler's collection of essays, No Judgement, is a big moment: expect mordantly funny cultural commentary and incisive literary analysis

Oyler is one of our sharpest and most fearless cultural critics .... Opining on gossip and anxiety, autofiction and vulnerability, and much, much more, [her] caustic wit and penetrating voice shine through every essay

A series of interconnected essays about modern life, from gossip and anxiety to books and criticism. Scathing, wry and incisive

Witty, agile, stimulating ... by turns anecdotal, playful, ironically self-deprecating. Oyler has a talent for cutting through hype and getting to the nub of things

Oyler is ferociously intelligent and none of her many judgements is easy. She pushes arguments beyond the expected resolution into an original spin on the initial premise

Lauren Oyler is the author of the novel Fake Accounts. Her essays on books and culture appear regularly in the New Yorker, the New York Times, the London Review of Books, Harper's, the Guardian and other publications. She lives in Berlin.
