It is clear at every turn that this is the world of literary publishing, a world that never took the Potter series or its author particularly seriously and which is somewhat easy to lampoon as being insular and self-absorbed while producing little that makes an impact on popular culture.

It does, sort of, in the sense that the main characters on this show (with the exception of Elijah, Ray, and maybe Adam these days) are so freaking self-absorbed that there might literally have to be a person screaming for her life in the streets for them to break the solipsist cycle.

I know you're the coach and I'm still pretending to be this hypothetical self-absorbed teenager, but this is a pretty dickish way to talk to people and I can almost guarantee that not only will it not have the desired effect, it will produce the exact opposite result you were looking for.

Upholding the family tradition of hostility, he agrees to review one of his brother Jay's novels for Boston magazine and trashes it: "At best a beach read, a middlebrow brick just a step above Judith Krantz or Belva Plain… a bizzare chiasmus, a Rumplestiltskin prank," its author a "name-promoting, self-absorbed" hack.

I was looking out onto our cranberry-colored barn filled with the belongings of the man I used to be — sober, pensive, self-absorbed — the space brimming with cartons of dusty documents, ancient awards and photographs of a life that had run its course, a curated and backward-looking collection mired in nostalgia.

This is the sort of thing that would thrill the story's titular protagonist, a self-absorbed author and internet celebrity who thinks of his worth in clicks, new followers gained and whether his publisher is still willing to give him a big advance after he insulted its managing director during a cocaine-fueled 3 a.m.

I think that's the basic mistake Cody makes here: She treats most of her characters like they've been inducted by default into the national suburban burnout epidemic, and that's the reason they're all in individually self-absorbed hazes that keep them from connecting to each other or even listening to each other half the time.

"A less petty, self-absorbed person would look at a devastating, embarrassing election defeat and thank her former primary opponent who, based on the record, went to extraordinary lengths to support her," said Jonathan Tasini, the author of "The Essential Bernie Sanders and His Vision for America" and a national surrogate for Sanders in 2016.

They may also get some encouragement from a higher power when they meet Pope Francis at the Vatican on Friday evening — though the first non-European pontiff in over a millennium has in the past also chided the EU for rebuffing refugees and losing sight of its values, becoming old, "fearful and self-absorbed".

The people Ehrenreich depicted were anxious and self-absorbed, terrified of downward mobility; the ones in Quart's book are anxious too, but now that they know firsthand the kind of profound vulnerability that used to be the domain of the poor, they may be on the cusp, she hopes, of pushing for genuine policy change.

News of the gay character has caused a stir in recent days: In the new movie, LeFou has a crush on his pal, the handsome, self-absorbed villain Gaston (Fast & Furious star Luke Evans) — and LeFou has what Gad calls a "subtle but incredibly effective" scene during the film's finale that hints at a happily ever after.

The bet is that targeting Trump's weakness for exaggerated shows of respect will make him look kindly on Britain amid its deepest political crisis since World War II. Yet experience suggests that the unpredictable and often self-absorbed President rarely draws such straight lines and he's less deflected from his ideological aims than it's often assumed.

Since its debut on Fox in fall 2003, Arrested Development has been a scathing satire of upper-class privilege, painting the Bluth family as self-absorbed, overconfident, underqualified boobs who've survived as long as they have due to an extremely lax moral code, plus American society's deference to those who carry themselves as rich and important.

" (Presumably, the dog didn't listen to "momma" at the deli.) All of this reached a boiling point earlier Monday when a celebrity blogger — who has written for Refinery29 in the past — shared the news about Jenner, adding that Jenner is "disturbingly despicable, entitled, unsympathetic, sadistic, uncharitable and self-absorbed human being who doesn't deserve to be idolized.

Revised since then, it retains both its primary strengths — Ms. Hood's music and Mr. Russell's lyrics, though their title song is still underwhelming — and its fatal weaknesses: Mr. Russell's strained plot and sitcom-shallow dialogue, and a central character so self-absorbed that you have to wonder what Lou, who is a catch, sees in her.

While some have accused Gen Z (or Generation Zoom, as some have taken to calling this cohort) of being cynical and self-absorbed, we see students every day who are compassionate, caring, creative, and willing and able to do what is right and what is good to "secure the home front" and meet the greatest challenge of our lives.

This isn't the kind of novel you read for the plot — which is minimal: fiftyish woman, recently divorced, meets much younger man; he's a self-absorbed, emotionally volatile, sexually magnetic undocumented immigrant who's desperate for a green card; she can't assimilate him into her life, nor can she give up the physical intensity she experiences with him.

Experiences range from the low-key (friends wanting a weed fix for a birthday) to the cutting (a self-absorbed Vice writer feigns interest in a former Hasidic man for a story) to the joyful (an eclipse party turns into an engagement party) to the heartbreaking (a city reels in the aftermath of some unnamed cataclysmic event).

In the pages that follow, we slowly get a sense of who Leland was as a younger man: a spirited political activist at Kent State in 1967, then, shortly thereafter, a self-absorbed addict in Cleveland, where one night he and his dealer friend Reggie Marshall find themselves in the middle of a double-cross gone dramatically wrong (gunshots, car bombs).

His tweets and offhand taunts are the very essence of trolling — the lies, the scorn, the invective, the trash talk, and the rabid non sequiturs of an angry, aggrieved, isolated, and deeply self-absorbed adolescent who lives in a self-constructed bubble and gets the attention he craves from bashing his enemies and trailing clouds of outrage and dismay in his path.

If people who love cats are self-assured (but self-absorbed), and people who love dogs are self-satisfied (but insecure), then it might be said that people who love turtles are, to some degree, fatalistic: Loving a turtle means pouring endless amounts of affection into a bucket that will never fill because it has a hole cut in its bottom.

A lot of us who have aging parents and aging in-laws, we're very happy to hear the FS talk about the need to spend and invest in the future especially for those who built Hong Kong, the elderly and something that has not been addressed in recent years because we've been so self-absorbed with building flats, building accommodation for people.

Stiller assigns great actors with roles that are totally unlike their real-life personas; audiences love seeing leading man Tom Cruise as Les Grossman, with a foul mouth and glaring bald spot, and redeemed Hollywood bad boy Robert Downey Jr. as a self-absorbed method actor whose use of blackface highlights his sense of complete obliviousness to the real world.

If you know Mr. Sudeikis, 41, from his decade as a writer and performer on "Saturday Night Live," you may see him as synonymous with the boisterous, ludicrously self-absorbed characters he played there; or in films like "Horrible Bosses" or "We're the Millers"; or on Fox's "Son of Zorn," providing the voice of a cartoon barbarian living in a flesh-and-blood world.

Cohen is interested in who remains inside and who outside the pale, but the novel's "others" — Diggs and her late-arriving parents; Lloyd's daughter, Ellerby, whose mother is from Nicaragua; a new neighboring Haredi family — are essentially bystanders in the Blumenthals' festivities, mostly because the family itself (the three other children are teenage Tom and sprightly young Mantha and Pim) is somewhat self-absorbed.

How can it be the case that poems are ineffectual and self-absorbed ephemera when the Presidential election produced a Trump bump in the poetry world, when hundreds of people submit poems to a newspaper contest, when dozens of poetry anthologies are in print, and when a book-length poem sells two hundred thousand copies, a number reached by very few works of prose?

Developed for TV by the writing team of Veronica West and Sarah Kucserka, with Zoë Kravitz in the lead role, the new High Fidelity retains the arch charm of the movie — even replicating some shots and lines word for word — while nixing the creepy undercurrents of misogyny and entitlement from Cusack's character for a Rob who is just as self-absorbed but also compassionate and insecure.

Kevin Fallon, The Daily Beast: Schumer is an expert at not just sending up the self-absorbed white girl, but finding a way to deepen the characterization beyond the comedy trope—in other words, to sustain more than just a comedy sketch, but an entire movie...Schumer is great at projecting confidence that presents itself as painfully awkward, but also at underwriting all her comedy bits—even the tired selfie ones—with insecurity.

Reading of his comments questioning Senator John McCain's status as a hero, his equating the risks of contracting sexual diseases with the perils of combat, his attack on the family of a fallen Muslim officer, and his claim of sacrifice in pursuit of wealth and self-aggrandizement, I realized just how isolated and self-absorbed he was during that turbulent period, and how completely out of sync he is with most of his generation, veterans and evaders alike.

In a kind of hybrid of novel and memoir, Modiano has crafted a brooding narrator who summons this Paris through recollections that jump from era to era — from the boarding-school days of a truant who has taken the train back from the Haute-Savoie to skip around the city, unbeknown to his self-absorbed parents; to the boy's elderly incarnation 50 years later, reflecting on the landmarks that tied those two selves together — mostly books and women, which he doesn't evaluate, just chronicles, in fact and detail, hoping that his words, "like magnets," might link together chapters that form a book, or a life.

" FR: "I speak at a lot of colleges and it is so inspiring for me to meet not just people that watch my content but just young people who are really fired up about what's going on in the world right now and I feel like especially because of social media young, people kind of get a bad rap of being self-absorbed and just like always on their phone, but I cannot begin to tell you how many times I've gotten a really great tweet and then I went to the person's profile and they were 14 years old and I just thought like if I had been exposed to these things at 14, like I would be the president.
