Críticas:
Charles Baxter In this book on confession, self-reflection, and self-absorption, David Shields gets to several essential features of contemporary American character, and he does it with wit, intelligence, and a kind of insight that is all the more impressive because of its epigrammatic eloquence. The result is sometimes funny, sometimes profound, sometimes moving, and sometimes all these things at once.
Reseña del editor:
A self-reflective and highly inventive book that is both memoir and meditation on memoir. ENOUGH ABOUT YOU is a book about David Shields. But it is also a terrifically engrossing exploration and exploitation of self-reflection, self-absorption, full blown narcissism, and the impulse to write about oneself. In a world awash with memoirs and tell-alls, Shields has created something unique: he invites the reader into his mind as he turns his life into a narrative. With moving and often hilarious candur, Shields covers a variety of subjects, language, sex, literary criticism, basketball, family, Bill Murray - all while exploring the impulse to confess, to use oneself as an autobiographical subject, to make one's life into a work of art. The result is a collection of poetically charged self-reflections which reveal deep truths about ourselves as well.
