All Things Are Too Small: Essays in Praise of Excess

0/5 ( ratings)

An acclaimed debut author's glorious call to throw off restraint and balance in culture in favor of excess, abandon, and disproportion, in essays ranging from topics such as Sally Rooney, sadomasochism, and women who wait

All Things Are Too Small is brilliant cultural critic Becca Rothfeld’s soul cry for imbalance, obsession, gluttony, ravishment, ugliness, and unbound truth in aesthetics, whether we’re talking about literature, criticism, or design. In a healthy culture, Rothfeld argues, economic security allows for wild aesthetic experimentation and excess; alas, in the contemporary Anglophone West, we’ve got it flipped. The gap between rich and poor, privileged and oppressed, yawns hideously wide, while we stagnate in a cultural equality that imposes restraint.
