Joan Didion

Post by saw » June 1st, 2024, 3:07 pm

lost in the essays
reading her mind
the white album
no not the Beatles
a collection of unique views
of the west coast
in the seventies
language elevated
joan didion
just before bedtime
may enhance your dreams
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

She was known for her lucid prose style and incisive depictions of social unrest and psychological fragmentation. (As I read on the Internet.)

Sounds relevant.

I read only one book by her I can’t remember the name of it. Omg. I remember my own name sometimes, but memory is a slippery slope these days. I remember you, Mark! Thx for still hanging out here and posting this. Imma look on my bookshelf to find Joan Didion and revisit it

her book, The White Album is an historical jaunt through the seventies with flair....she weaves her prose thru the moments as only she can
