my possibly unpopular opinion is that this is what we get for elevating personal essays to “serious” writing, boring solipsism masked as ~ literature ~
She's trying to cast herself as some kind of tragic timeless figure but it just comes off as vapid and self-obsessed. This is the literary version of your most annoying friend on Instagram.
