Why read it?
1 author picked Like A Complete Unknown as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The book that proves your mother was right about what would happen “if:”
A story of a teenage runaway in l970 who gets herself into “trouble,” that offers a visceral kaleidoscope of the adventures of the era—the good and the bad—and makes you feel like you personally went through it all. It echoes through today with its theme of choice that is taken away from young men fleeing the draft, and from young women without governance over their own bodies.
From Rita's list on the Vietnam War era by women writers.
