Jesse Eisenberg, known for playing Mark Zuckerberg in The Social Network, has published a Shouts & Murmurs column at The New Yorker titled “My Mother Explains the Ballet to Me.”
Characterized by one-sided, rapid-fire conversation, the result is a frank, humorous scene of a mother chastising her adult son at the ballet.
One response
Eh. I hate contrived prose. Hate it. I mean, okay, his mother is From Hell, but there is no subtlety, no genius. Eisenberg never surmounts his mother’s gaucheness, she wins. Poor Jesse. He ends up naked, shivering, and pathetic.
