first and foremost, this is totally the kind of writing i fall for-- a genre-hopping mix of memoir, history, poetry, philosophy and art criticism. solnit's writing reminds me of several of my favorite people-- imagine a more inviting roland barthes, a more introspective chris marker, a more conversational anne carson. the book follows a seemingly intuitive path from one observation to the next-- not everything is brilliant, but at its very deepest it achieves a remarkable lightness. this is the kind of book you need to put down and think about from time to time. i'm excited to read the rest of her work.
(thanks for the recommendation, erin!)
