egotism

If Trump’s first term is any indicator, the next four years will be an unmitigated mess of infighting, corruption, revolving door staff, facile demands and fragile egotism.

McNeal’s ambivalence is boldly handled: Unbridled egotism is punctured with regret.

He is intensely competitive but without any of the suffocating self-seriousness or egotism of so many superstars.

The single-actor format and clever use of camerawork give visual expression to the novel’s themes of overweening egotism and existential dread.

The vibe is one of camp send-up of Hollywood narcissism, but irony and egotism are blended like a fine Bordeaux.
