I interviewed Lauren Oyler for Interview Magazine and guess what! We discussed her bad reviews (and her list of overused words, how you introduce yourself to an Uber driver, etc) —

I had a great Interview Magazine chat with cancela lansbury about The Paragraph that Drives Women Mad. You guys have been talking about my book for two months! interviewmagazine.com/literature/lau…
A guy who is either schizophrenic or on a lot of acid talked to me at the bar for a while and decided to write me a note in Lauren Oyler’s book
“I love my writing, which has gotten easier for me in the past couple of years and accomplishes what I want it to accomplish.”

“There’s something about the novel that is always straining for timelessness, but essays can be more spontaneous and contemporary.”

“I’m attracted to what ‘people are talking about,’ to the issues of the day, and if I often disagree with what ‘people’ are saying, that’s fine, because I get a lot of ideas that way.”

“I cannot remember the last time I didn’t cry while writing a magazine piece.”

“I think everything is really boring right now. I find it hard to muster the energy to write about contemporary culture anymore.”

We call essays discursive as though this were a bad thing but as Lauren Oyler puts it:
'A good essay will have many arguments in it...you start in one place and end up somewhere else. With a thesis statement, you have nowhere to go, or you start at the end and go in a circle.'
