Infinite City changed how I thought about San Francisco, the Bay Area and pretty much every cit I have lived in. The love and attentiveness paid to the multitudes contained within SF as a city and as a place (spiritually, socially, psychologically) is truly breath-taking. I would read a version with 10 times as many essays.

A review on the back of the book likened the writing to having a thoughtful friend's opinion and insight into a number of issues. I fully agree. I would have never thought of so directly connecting the worlds of tech to nature and simply being. Thoroughly recommend to anyone for whom the description speaks to them at all.

Ocean Vuong has a way of using words that conjure such vivid images for me - truly mesmerizing

Hilarious in ways I didn't know books could be - tweet-like vignettes - that give way to a deeply moving, heartbreaking set of experiences that awed me

A really beautiful book telling the story of a grandmother and her relationship with her granddaughter. Between the use of different styles of storytelling to the humour and warmth of the writing, this book was short but very sweet
