A review by elllllla
Mild Vertigo by Mieko Kanai

5.0

such a lovely book. the back of the book describes it as a "portrait of selfhood in late-stage capitalist society," though it reads more as a portrait of the lack of selfhood. i think mieko kanai is really wonderful at portraying how impossible it is to have any kind of individuality when our only real options for personhood are our jobs and material possessions.
