It's a continental philosophy thing. The moment I saw Paris Review in the title I knew there would be "transgressive", a few shots at capitalism, and inevitable dog-whistles to race and gender.

Usually some sort of tie back to "the Real", in either the Lacan / Zizek sense, or the Baudrillard sense. Didn't get any of those, though; kinda disappointed.

To be fair, even the most remote Carrefour in rural France would be considered an opulent food palace for the top 5% in the United States. Some forms of capitalism seem to produce more aesthetically pleasing results than others.
