purplemuskogee 's review for:
The Odd Woman and the City
by Vivian Gornick
reflective
fast-paced
I thought I would love this - a memoir, an ode to urban life - but too many things irritated me. Many characters that we know so little about, her best friend Leonard (so pretentious, so pedantic), her occasional racism, her Karen attitude of commenting on everyone's habits and actions and being astonished when she's called a b****... It's well written but too pretentious and self-important.
