Exposure
Exposure | Olivia Sudjic
3 posts | 3 read | 5 to read
A personal essay on exposure, auto-fiction, internet feminism and the anxiety epidemic. Last year Olivia Sudjic published Sympathy, a novel about surveillance and connection in the internet age. If a debut novel is written by a woman, it is often read and discussed as if it were a memoir. Suddenly Sudjic found herself shoved under the microscope, subject to same surveillance apparatus she had dissected in her novel. In this incisive personal essay, Olivia Sudjic draws on her experience to examine the damaging expectations that attend any young female artist, as well the strategies by which they might be evaded.

March roundup part 1! Standouts from this half were Exposure, Extreme Cities and a Terrible Country probably. Some great stuff this month, very diverse and a lot of nonfiction. Only really disappointing one here was a god in ruins.

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego Well done! 📖💖 5y

5* perfect genre-defying essay. This book covers a lot on anxiety‘s medical and social causes, modern fiction by women, Internet culture, what it‘s like to be a writer today, and that sounds a bit of a jumbled soup but she makes it look easy. If you‘re anything like me this is the kind of book you fantasise about reading in an elegant coffee shop while you feel you‘re getting cleverer, and it definitely fulfils that purpose

saresmoore I‘m so here for this. I loved Sympathy. 5y

So excited to read this! I like short, perfectly written books so much and this covers so many topics I‘m very interested in right now - sexism, anxiety, Instagram culture. Has anyone read Sympathy?? I really want to read that one too
