The pulled quotes are the standout feature — genuinely delightful. They do more than serve their journalistic function of supporting the narrative; they also capture the zeitgeist with striking clarity. Reading them now, if I hadn’t lived through that period myself, I would have assumed they were excerpts from dystopian fiction rather than real statements from the time. But boy, things were as bad as I remember.

The chapter on San Francisco’s decline hit me hard. I found myself crying for San Francisco, but I was also mourning my own hometown, Rio, which I still believe is the most beautiful place on earth. It’s terrifying how completely the wrong politics can hollow out a city: first the spirit, then the safety, and eventually the everyday dignity that makes life feel livable.

I’m just wrapping up the intro and can’t help but swoon at Nellie’s every word. She’s the writer I wanted to be when I grew up.
