LET ME TELL YOU WHAT I MEAN
Details
With a forward by Hilton Als, these pieces from 1968 to 2000, never before gathered together, offer an illuminating glimpse into the mind and process of a legendary figure. They showcase Joan Didion's incisive reporting, her empathetic gaze, and her role as ''an articulate witness to the most stubborn and intractable truths of our time'' (The New York Times Book Review).
Here, Didion touches on topics ranging from newspapers (''the problem is not so much whether one trusts the news as to whether one finds it''), to the fantasy of San Simeon, to not getting into Stanford. In ''Why I Write,'' Didion ponders the act of writing: ''I write entirely to find out what I'm thinking, what I'm looking at, what I see and what it means.'' From her admiration for Hemingway's sentences to her acknowledgment that Martha Stewart's story is one ''that has historically encouraged women in this country, even as it has threatened men,'' these essays are acutely and brilliantly observed. Each piece is classic Didion: incisive, bemused, and stunningly prescient.
