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

Did not finish book. Stopped at 42%.

DNF. Pretentious and devoid of the emotion it claims to build itself upon. The musings stem from entitlement and lack any semblance of community with anyone else. The only thing saving this book is the structure of it. 

Also it mentioned Freud in a positive light and that pissed me off. AND quoted Winston Churchill??

Also— she’s so clearly racist. Specifically, that “white-woman” racism she masks behind a veil of “radical feminism.” Hot take, she’s not that radical.
