"Recuerdos de mi inexistencia" es para mí uno de esos libros que llegan justo cuando tienen que llegar y, quizás, te gustan más por la fibra que tocan que por lo que realmente son, pero es mi caso y le doy 5 estrellas.
"I have no regrets about the roads I took, but a little nostalgia for that period when most of the route is ahead, for that stage in which you might become many things that is so much the promise of youth, now that I have chosen and chosen again and again and am far down one road and far past many others."
"I grew up in an inside-out world where everywhere but the house was safe, and everyplace else had seemed safe enough as a child..."
"Despite everything, you are who you were meant to be."
"I don't desire a paradise that demands nothing of us, and I see paradise as not a destination to arrive in, but a pole star by which to navigate."
"Sometimes birds return to their cages when the door is open, sometimes people free to make their own choices choose to abandon that power."

i want to like solnits book but my mind is always wandering reading her work…
Feels both iconic and personally universal. So so beautiful and homey.

Nice memoir with depth. Thought provoking, she has had a very interesting life. Very different from mine, but still many of the same experiences.
