Running steadily through the bookis Vivian Gornick's exchange of more than twenty years with Leonard, a gay man who issophisticated about his own unhappiness, whose friendship has "shed more light on themysterious nature of ordinary human relations than has any other intimacy" she has known. Theexchange between Gornick and Leonard acts as a Greek chorus to the main action of thenarrator's continual engagement on the street with grocers, derelicts, and doormen; people on thebus, cross-dressers on the corner, and acquaintances by the handful. In Leonard she sees herselfreflected plain; out on the street she makes sense of what she sees. Written as a narrative collagethat includes meditative pieces on the making of a modern feminist, the role of the flaneur in urbanliterature, and the evolution of friendship over the past two centuries, The Odd Woman and theCity beautifully bookends Gornick's acclaimed Fierce Attachments, in which we first encounteredher rich relationship with the ultimate metropolis.
