Let Me Tell You What I Mean South and West Blue Nights The Year of Magical Thinking We Tell Ourselves Stories in Order to Live The Last Thing He Wanted From one of our most iconic and influential writers: a timeless collection of mostly early pieces that reveal what would become Joan Didion's subjects, including the press, politics, California robber barons, women, and her own self-doubt. Joan Didion has always kept notebooks—of overheard dialogue, interviews, drafts of essays. Here are two extended excerpts from notebooks she kept in the 1970s; read together, they form a piercing view of the American political and cultural landscape. A New York Times Notable Book and National Bestseller from one of our most powerful writers, a work of stunning frankness about losing a daughter. From one of America’s iconic writers, a stunning book of electric honesty and passion that explores an intensely personal yet universal experience: a portrait of a marriage that will speak to anyone who has ever loved a husband or wife or child. Includes seven books in one volume: the full texts of Slouching Towards Bethlehem; The White Album; Salvador; Miami; After Henry; Political Fictions; and Where I Was From. As featured in the Netflix documentary Joan Didion: The Center Will Not Hold. This intricate, fast-paced story offers an incisive and chilling look at a modern world where things are not working as they should—and where the oblique and official language is as sinister as the events it is covering up.
