Joan Didion "Let Me Tell You What I Mean"
Läbi müüdud
Here are six pieces written in 1968 from the "Points West" Saturday Evening Post
column Joan Didion shared from 1964 to 1969 with her husband, John
Gregory Dunne about: American newspapers; a session with Gamblers
Anonymous; a visit to San Simeon; being rejected by Stanford; dropping
in on Nancy Reagan, wife of the then-governor of California, while a TV
crew filmed her at home; and an evening at the annual reunion of WWII
veterans from the 101st Airborne Association at the Stardust Hotel in
Las Vegas. Here too is a 1976 piece from the New York Times magazine on "Why I Write"; a piece about short stories from New West in 1978; and from The New Yorker,
a piece on Hemingway from 1998, and on Martha Stewart from 2000. Each
one is classic Didion: incisive, bemused, and stunningly prescient.
