Jia Tolentino x “Who’s Afraid of Eating the Rich?” x Chan Centre for Performing Arts x UBC. (via Justin Man)

How Tolentino engages our existence of interlocking contradictions through cultural touchstones makes her writing so clear-headed yet deeply entangled in messiness. Her pivot to wealth, its depictions, and our relationship to it reveals so much about our inner rot and depression. Even defining “rich” is unclear when measured against others and global reach.
