    It’s Joan Didion
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2023*

This is my favorite of all Joan’s books. I recommend all of them but this one is special to me. Most books I get on kindle but Joan’s books I want on both kindle and paperback. She was an amazing voice , refreshingly honest and not full of fake toxic positivity. She saw things in a different way and was able to articulate that so well. Book arrived on time and is in good condition, I bought a used copy.

    What Rough Beast . . .
  

*by B***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2021*

This is a group of previously uncollected essays from the great Joan Didion, the author of Slouching Toward Bethlehem, The White Album and The Year of Magical Thinking.  Didion always seemed to me to be the writer Vogue should send to cover the Apocalypse. Clear, cool and with an eye for the telling detail.  Often times books of this nature, published late in an author's career, are a last grasp to cash in on the author's reputation, but this a revealing collection of essays and will be especially enjoyable if you are familiar with Didion's work.  (If you are not, I doubt you would want to start here and I would suggest any of the three books mentioned above as better starting points.)  Arranged chronologically, the dozen or so essays were originally published in magazines from 1968 to 2000 and show Didion's development as a writer and thinker.  They feature underground newspapers, college rejection letters, Nancy Reagan, the set designer Tony Richardson, Martha Stewart and the last days of Ernest Hemingway, a writer to whom Didion is often compared.  A very early piece on not being chosen by Stanford, her first choice for college, features her effort to rework the language of the letter into something less final, perhaps her first foray into magical thinking. The piece of Nancy Reagan written when she was the First Lady of California, offers a preview of where the Republican party is headed and Last Words examines the writer's block endured by Ernest Hemingway at the end of his career. The Martha Stewart piece argues that her image problems as a tough boss would be considerably mitigated if she were a man.  Highly recommended to Didion fans.  And reading Joan Didion is highly recommended to anyone not already familiar with her.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars
