This week on Article Club we ask the very light, very nbd question: “Does anyone really know you?” Joshua Rothman’s article in the New Yorker (check it out here) digs into the layers of identity and how we see ourselves and others. Will anyone ever understand us completely? Is that ok? We talk about how being unknown––aka anonymous at weddings or on first dates––can be pretty powerful orrrr lead to an itty bitty white lie habit.
