SUMMARY:Northshire Bookstore: Kathryn Jezer-Morton - The Story of Your Life
 : How Social Media Shapes the Way We Experience Everything - with Janet Ma
 nley
DESCRIPTION:Author and New York Magazine columnist Kathryn Jezer-Morton wil
 l discuss her book\, an eye-opening look at how social media shapes the st
 ories we tell and the lives we lead.\n\nThrough rigorous research and inti
 mate interviews with everyday people\, Jezer-Morton explores how the platf
 orms on which we have told our life stories for the past twenty years have
  determined what those stories have come to look and sound like. Today our
  attention spans are short\, and our stories reflect that\, with spectacle
  and exaggeration playing ever-larger roles in our accounts of everyday li
 fe. By examining how we share\, talk\, and post about our milestones\, vac
 ations\, homes\, relationships\, hardships\, politics\, and more\, Jezer-M
 orton shows just how pervasive and influential our social media platforms 
 have become in how we view ourselves and what we consider to be a life wel
 l lived.\n\nSmart\, funny\, and sharply observant\, The Story of Your Life
  delivers an original and revealing look at our lives online and off and o
 ffers us a fresh perspective on the ways social media shapes the very arcs
  of our lives.\n\n"Kathryn Jezer-Morton is invaluable: one of our greatest
  chroniclers of the norms of American domestic life\, one of our most astu
 te interpreters of performance and gloss. The Story of Your Life is an ess
 ential study of the ordinary use of social media—it’s poignant and eas
 ygoing and never preachy\, and crucially\, it’s focused on people who ex
 ist outside over-dissected coastal norms." — Jia Tolentino\, New York Ti
 mes bestselling author of Trick Mirror\n\nKATHRYN JEZER-MORTON is the auth
 or of the biweekly “Brooding” column at The Cut\, in which she explore
 s topics surrounding modern family life. She has written about domestic li
 fe and digital culture for The New York Times\, The Nation\, The Guardian\
 , and Jezebel\, among many other publications.
