Beautiful prose - I’d heard of Rebecca Solnit but never read anything by her before - I’ll be looking for more

This book makes me want to write and a little makes me want to throw away the idea that writing is even possible.
It isn't.
We do it anyway.
I loved getting to know Solnit as more than the voice behind "Men Explain Things to Me" and all the stories and the care that she takes in telling them. She's so careful with the shards of her life and with so many lives; recognizing their sharpness and finding ways to make them into a mosaic anyway.
I love the way she uses language and I love the way her words are luminous.

largely very affirming read but has a bit of a fleabag’s godmum vibe about it

Really enjoyed the first half, the second half I couldn’t get into as much, though I did enjoy the general theme of it
