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

3.0

In this memoir Gornick made some really good observations about long-lasting friendships, living in a big city, getting older and old age. There's a noticeable maturity and life wisdom in her writing style, which made me take photos of many passages. What I didn't like was the form – I found myself confused by all the names introduced and unrelated events, and also by the fragmentary nature of individual stories.
