Twelve early pieces never before collected that offer an illuminating glimpse into the mind and process of Joan Didion.
Mostly
drawn from the earliest part of her astonishing five-decade career, the
wide-ranging pieces in this collection include Didion writing about a
Gamblers Anonymous meeting, a visit to San Simeon, and a reunion of WWII
veterans in Las Vegas, and about topics ranging from Nancy Reagan to
Robert Mapplethorpe to Martha Stewart.
Here are subjects Didion
has long written about -- the press, politics, California robber barons,
women, the act of writing, and her own self-doubt. Each piece is
classic Didion: incisive and, in new light, stunningly prescient.
