savaging's review
4.0
Propitiously, the Reading List Algorithm Gods decided I'd read this book alongside Cormac McCarthy's No Country for Old Men. So alongside McCarthy's manly men manning their way through their blood-soaked fantasies of the border, I get to float down the Rio Grand with the open and loving mind of Rebecca Solnit.
It's like walking out of a stuffy frat boy's room full of dudes playing Call of Duty or something, and into a breezy field of wildflowers and weeds.
There is some repetition about the nature/culture and gender divide, but in general this is a wonderful engagement with wild art and wild places and good ideas.
