Joan Didion is one of America's most respected writers, her work constituting some of the greatest portraits of modern-day American culture. Over the four decades of her career, she has produced widely-acclaimed journalistic essays, personal essays, novels, non-fiction, memoir and screenplays. Her memoir The Year of Magical Thinking won the National Book Award in 2005.
"Didion's essays of a world featuring barricades and bombings, mass
murders and kidnapped heiresses make recent history as filtered
through her seem a savage and passionate drama, something you can
put a hand on and feel it beating, something you can put your ear
to and hear its story."
VILLAGE VOICE "Brilliant, troubling, indelible tales and
reflections."
SAN DIEGO TRIBUNE "Reveals a wholly original analytic mind, a
sensibility as expansive and idiosyncratic as a 19th-century
novelist's."
MONA SIMPSON "Our quintessential essayist."
JERRY KOSINSKI, 'LA Times'
