  • Thank you for this..I discovered the wonderful work of Joan Didion some years ago. Her essays especially those from The White Album and Slouching..are so perfect. Even though I lived in the 60's and thought I was plugged in..I feel I am being shown what that time and place really was about...damn. I thought Tom Wolfe was the voice..maybe even in a way Vonnegut. Joan IS. What a great writer.

  • Couldn't he have put his glasses on before he walked up to the stage? Anyway, he's totally write about Didion's sentences.
