Recollections of My Nonexistence: A Memoir by Rebecca Solnit

hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

Rebecca Solnit is a feminist author and social activist born in the early 60s. In Recollections of My Non-existence she takes us through the memory lane of researching visual arts, enriching life with the stories of the people she met, exploring the punk scene, her experience with and take on Beat poets, and also the then famous directors. And of course, a lot of the thoughts, perspectives, ideas are about women taking up space, voicing their opinions, dealing with the violence of simply existing in a female body. It's a book that makes me appreciate words, art, and life more freely.
