That was a bit overwhelming. The Odd Woman and the City is an absolute declaration of love for city life, and New York in particular. Gornick reflects on her own (romantic) relationships and on how city life has evolved around her. Or with her. For her. She hints at the permissiveness that permeates New York, but at the same time at the solidarity that begrudgingly, it seems, befalls its inhabitants.
There is an abundant number of stories and encounters, too much for a reader to retain in a single reading, but that make up her life and makes it interesting. I might have to revisit this memoir. Someday.
