pictusfish's review against another edition
3.0
A mixed bag of good and bad essays. The worst was "One Year After 7 Deaths", which was 95% a story about one of the men who died in the Isla Vista shooting. Don't know why i spent so long reading about the life of a man in a collection of feminist essays.

mag_e_h's review against another edition
Rebecca Solnit writes in a matter of factness that poetic. She writes about sweeping topics like Love, Truth, Language, Justice, and Hope with anchors hitched to examples mundane and grand.
I'm hungry for more of her work. She introduces metaphors, personal reflections, and cultural references that bring into focus what is too close to our noses to see.
I'd like much to be a woman like Rebecca Solnit.

Basically, Solnit is an amazing writer. Among the numerous thought-provoking phrases and essays in the book, Solnit writes what is my favorite quote about books, and puts words to how I feel about reading: "...if there is no one book that saved me, it’s because hundreds or thousands did.” - Rebecca Solnit
