“Have I always staged myself and my life on Instagram? Abso-fucking-lutely’
Katherine Diez: In my own bosom. People’s
As if she were a candy in beautiful packaging, Katherine Diez continues to do what she is sublime at: Making everyone unwrap and suck, so that their mouths water. In the most talked about book of the year, she masters the art of talking outside the box in a way that unites the inner with the sparkling exterior. It fits perfectly with a zeitgeist where publishers, readers and the media can’t get enough of self-confessed heartache stories. The libraries’ buyers have also fallen flat on their faces for the mix of vulnerability and strategic staging. With over 600 copies, her book is the best-seller of the year. At Gentofte Libraries, 65 copies have been purchased, while 271 patrons have to wait patiently to be able to read about the disbursing diezeries.
