Today's #SaturdaySentence comes from "Recollections of My Nonexistence," a memoir by the activist and author Rebecca Solnit about acquiring confidence as a woman and a writer. "For Solnit fans, her new memoir is a glimpse of all that was 'taking form out of sight,' providing a key to understanding much of her work to date. Yet simply as a coming-of-age narrative, it also has much to offer someone new to her writing," our reviewer, Jenny Odell, writes. “The stochastic nature of social change has been one of Solnit’s guiding concerns, and here it’s transposed to a personal register: How does a person change? We rarely know what something means when it happens to us. We may be finding out for the rest of our lives." | @vikingbooks
