The Odd Woman and the City by Vivian Gornick

4.0

---

Gornick writes a love letter to the city of New York. She writes about the city and its inhabitants. Strangers interacting: arguing, befriending, tolerating, etc. She writes about herself: she's unmarried, no children, growing old, loving her friends, nostalgic, a feminist, an odd woman. It's written in snippets so it reads like a journal. She writes about other people, people who have impacted her deeply or who have shaped her as a person.
