Greedy shows us that being bisexual is about so much more than who you’re sleeping with—it’s about finding stability in a state of flux and defining yourself on your own terms.

In this lively critique, Spectator business editor Martin Vander Weyer argues that capitalism has indeed lost its moral compass, has lost public trust and is in urgent need of repair.But I did struggle to emotionally connect with some pieces (except for one about sexual assault which I found quite powerful). This is such an easy read - the pages just slipped through my fingers with ease as I eagerly turned each page - I read it all in a few hours.

Un géant le fait manger jusqu'à ce qu'il se sente mal pour lui faire réaliser qu'être glouton c'est mauvais donc à la fin on voit une image de lui mince et on lit "il est mieux comme cela, non? However, when it comes to greed there is the idea of the zero sum game – for every dollar you earn, somebody else is losing – and in some sense the more money you make, or save, is more money out of somebody else's pockets.This book wasn't for me, but they deserved to tell their story, and hopefully the positive aspects of the book will connect more with other members of the bisexual community. The voice is very millenial, chatty, and Internet-speaky, in a way that felt familiar to me but also made the author's individual personality a bit opaque. From the Industrial Revolution to the internet, capitalism has been a great engine of human progress. In moments I felt like I was comfortably seated on a highly-entertaining ride through Jen's experiences and personal stories, only to realize after a bit that I'd been effortlessly transported right into the heart of some of the most complex and necessary questions of our time around the intersections of gender, sexuality, power, erotics, and liberation.

Ultimately, however, this book reads like a 280 page Instagram feed or Buzzfeed article written by someone who falls between Florence Given and Lena Dunham.

Okay, he does eat food that doesn't belong to him, but I still don't believe that he is a scoundrel. In an incredible scene Greedy happens upon a secret room filled with over-sized foodstuffs such as oranges bigger than himself and peas the size of footballs.

The symbolism inherent in the entire text created personifications of biblical sins, so may be a bit deep for some readers. He dreams of food, he attacks his meals with relish and seems to derive an enormous amount of pleasure from the act of consumption. I underlined and starred this paragraph, feeling seen by the acknowledgment that bi folks often aren’t seen at all, and found myself charging ahead to see what other gems of truth there were to excavate. Greedy is an essay collection that covers a lot of ground, clocking in at over 300 pages, and I found myself asking, is it trying to cover too much?

I'm all for discussions of representation in media, especially within the lesbian community, but the context and wording of this part made me a TINY bit livid.

Jen's provocative, laugh-out-loud debut takes us inside her journey of self-discovery, leading us through stories of a childhood "girl crush," an onerous quest to have a threesome, and an enduring fear of being bad at sex. Winston viscerally describes the sense of being unmoored without language to describe herself and the difficult path to finding it, all with a breezy irreverence that will enamor her to fans of millennial essayists like Samantha Irby and Jia Tolentino. Far more struggle in the run up to Christmas, worrying about money or being alone or just devastated because they have lost loved ones!
