Vincles ferotges i La dona singular i la ciutat - GORNICK, VIVIAN

Vivian Gornick is a highly lucid voice in contemporary literary criticism and memoir writing. In this volume, we have collected her two splendid memoir books. Fierce Attachments (1987) is a courageous and inspiring testimony on family ties, constructed from conversations, memories, and discussions between Gornick and her mother while walking through the city of New York, which also plays a crucial role in the entire book.

The Lone Woman and the City (2015) is an ode to friendship, love, and urban life woven together as a narrative collage that includes conversations about human relationships, reflections on feminism, being a woman, single, and childless, and on the evolution of friendship over the centuries.
