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.
