We forget the loves and the betrayals alike, forget what we whispered and what we screamed, forget who we wereIn her non-fiction work, Joan Didion not only describes the subject at hand – her younger self loving and leaving New York, the murderous housewife, the little girl trailing the rock group, the millionaire bunkered in his mansion – but also offers a broader vision of the world, one that is both terrifying and tender, ominous and uniquely her own.

Review
"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'
