A review by timtamothy
The Odd Woman and the City by Vivian Gornick

4.0

I love the way this book is structured, the way it rolls on and on, slowly carving a space in your mind. I enjoyed the factual/historical anecdotes and things Gornick has learnt in her life. Her observations on social conventions and society at large were often relatable (sometimes grotesquely so) and sometimes a little disappointing. Anyway, I would recommend this book to anyone interested in learning about the perspective and lessons of the flaneur.
