mardi 19 juin 2012 - 19h30- Soirées avec un auteur : Avis Cardella Auteur : The American Library in Paris
The American Library in Paris - 10, rue du Général Camou - 75007 ParisSpent is a deeply personal story that chronicles the thoroughly modern addiction: compulsive shopping. It exposes the dangers of choosing consumption over characeter, and how in the process of trying to "buy" a new self, another self that is more central may be annihilated. The memoir documents the past three decades and the rise of easy credit, mall culture, hyper consumption, and our cultural dependence on defining ourselves by our possessions.
