Learning to Drive: And Other Life Stories by Katha Pollitt

2.0

Without knowing anything about the author, I made a note of this book when it was reviewed on NPR several years ago. Who knows what I heard in that description which piqued my interest. I almost selected it for my bookclub. Now I'm glad I didn't.

It was tiresome and not particularly thought provoking. I kept waiting for a moment of clarity, a sparkle of wit or brilliance to engage me. But it didn't come. If this was a hardcover I would put it down on the desk with a satisfying thud. Done.
