But what is the significance of being a critic and consumer of media in today's fraught environment? How do we understand ourselves, and each other, as space between the individual and the world seems to get smaller and smaller, and our opinions on books and movies seem to represent something essential about our souls? And to put it bluntly, why should you care what she--or anyone--thinks?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this, her first collection of essays, Oyler writes with about topics like the role of gossip in our exponentially communicative society, the rise and proliferation of autofiction, why we're all so \"vulnerable\" these days, and her own anxiety. In her singular prose--sharp yet addictive, expansive yet personal--she encapsulates the world we live and think in with precision and care, delivering a work of cultural criticism as only she can.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBringing to mind the works of such iconic writers as Susan Sontag, Pauline Kael, and Terry Castle, \u003cem\u003eNo Judgment\u003c\/em\u003e is a testament to Lauren Oyler's inimitable wit and her quest to understand how we shape the world through culture.
