Publisher's Synopsis

A memoir of self-discovery and the dilemma of connection in our time, 'The Odd Woman and the City' explores the rhythms, chance encounters, and ever-changing friendships of urban life that forge the sensibility of a fiercely independent woman who has lived out her conflicts, not her fantasies, in a city (New York) that has done the same.
