Read this for my bookclub. There are so many things about this book that left me without words. Even though it is an autobiographical work that also looks at history and the social contexts of her experiences, Solnit writes as if it were poetry. And with such incredible precision! Especially the chapters about misogyny, sexual violence and feminism were outstanding. It is very important to say though that these are particularly graphic. I found them difficult to read at times, nevertheless I consider them thoroughly enriching.
This book is just something else and I have not read another work that compares. It is difficult on an emotional level, but so much worth it.
