Artylo’s Reviews > The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life > Status Update

If there ever was a book to signify that death is the only appropriate response to life, this would be it. Erving Goffman's work is as dry as sawdust, and rejects the true presentation of the self as possible or anything remotely valuable. Layers of approximations upon simulacra - masks and performance art - disingenuous pursuits of social status. Re-define as many words as you want - you're dead from the neck up.
