Kushner is really, extremely cool which comes through with ease in the essays, but none of them really blew me away.

Overall I think this collection suffers from being a bit uneven, but luckily there are more bangers than duds. While I enjoyed her essays on literary and art criticism, I much preferred Kushner's essays on her life and personal experiences.
Favorites: Girl on a Motorcycle, We Are Orphans Here, Made to Burn, Is Prison Necessary?, and The Hard Crowd.

Some interesting pieces but many were either just too smart for me or referenced books and movies that were too obscure.

She's the ultimate cool girl. And she's so much smarter than me.
My standouts were: Girl on a Motorcycle, We Are Orphans Here, In the Company of Truckers, Not with the Band, Is Prison Necessary?, and the title essay, The Hard Crowd.
