Recollections of My Nonexistence by Rebecca Solnit

4.0

---

Overall positive on this latest one from Solnit. She’s a great writer and is just as enjoyable on the many podcast appearances she has done lately for the book promotion – for me her speaking voice tops her writing but personal preferences may vary. The descriptions about life in San Francisco before the tech boom when one could actually afford to live there are well told, and her accounts of being a woman at that time and in her milieu were especially intriguing (especially the W.S. Burroughs anecdote).
