Eat, Pray, Love, Rinse, Repeat

A sprightly article from the New York Times about Luca Spaghetti's new memoir written around the vastly popular book Eat, Pray, Love.

"The truly special thing about “Eat, Pray, Love” is not its humor or its wisdom or its perky invocation of exotic local color — all of which are real, and often enjoyable. It’s that it is a completely inescapable vortex of recursion: a self-generating, self-sustaining, self-replicating machine of perpetual self-reference. It feels practically avant-garde in its determination to pull itself out of its own belly button".


 Fans of Elizabeth Gilbert's book will enjoy this amusingly caustic commentary, a bit enigmatic at times which makes it compelling in it's own way.
