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.

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.
