Jenni Olson’s seductively layered debut incorporates the spoken diary of a butch dyke into a visual love letter to San Francisco. THE JOY OF LIFE flows effortlessly from an attempt to soothe the pain of a friend’s death into a history of the Golden Gate Bridge, the world’s number-one suicide landmark.
