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

3.0

This book is a memoir but I see it as Gornick's intellectual commentary to various subject matters which she's immensely passionate about. Her observation of different people she encounters on the walks/places she's gone to and the conversation she's shared with Leonard, her gay friend whom I wanted to read more from, if I'm honest. Again, Gornick's writing is what kept me interested in this book regardless of whether I gravitate or not towards what she talks about. Because yes, there are instances in this book in which I find myself disassociating from her string of thoughts. Nonetheless, I still find this book worthwhile and the writing immaculate.

This is only my second book from this author and so far, I still love her Approaching Eye Level best. I will definitely read more books from Gornick because I couldn't get enough.
