Review of 'Unfinished Business: Notes of a Chronic Re-Reader' on 'Storygraph'
3 stars
Vivian Gornick is one of my favorite writers. And in spirit I completely appreciate what she is doing here, telling the story of her life through books she has reread throughout it. And yet, its a little hard to embrace this book with a full heart if you aren't familiar with the authors or novels she's talking about. If you're new to Gornick, start with Fierce Attachments or Odd Woman in the City instead.
