First Edition Signed
First Modern Library edition of what many consider her magnum opus. Octavo, original cloth. Signed by Joan Didion on the title page. Fine in a near fine dust jacket with light shelfwear. Introduction by Elizabeth Hardwick. Upon its publication in 1968, Slouching Towards Bethlehem confirmed Joan Didion as one of the most prominent writers on the literary scene. "In her portraits of people," The New York Times Book Review wrote, "Didion is not out to expose but to understand, and she shows us actors and millionaires, doomed brides and naïve acid-trippers, left-wing ideologues and snobs of the Hawaiian aristocracy in a way that makes them neither villainous nor glamorous, but alive and botched and often mournfully beautiful. . . . A rare display of some of the best prose written today in this country.".

Early printing of this Everyman's Library's compilation of the author's collected non-fiction work. Octavo, original cloth. Boldly signed by Joan Didion on the title page. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Introduction by John Leonard. "I have been trying forever to figure out why [Didion's] sentences are better than mine or yours . . . Something about [their] cadence. They come at you, if not from ambush, then in gnomic haikus, ice pick laser beams, or waves. Even the space on the page around these sentences is more interesting than it ought to be, as if to square a sandbox for a Sphinx" (John Leonard).
