phillysaurus 's review for:

Flâneuse by Lauren Elkin

2.0

informative slow-paced

---

This is not the book I thought it was going to be. It’s part actually about flaneuring, which I enjoyed, part a biography, which I didn’t enjoy, and part essays explaining the plot of films/books, which I didn’t enjoy. Also she’s a total snob and was very rude about Tokyo - and then when she decided she did like the city, she didn’t talk about it! Infuriating.
