You have suggested a new window that I must open. I have heard Didion's name bantered my whole life, read some excerpts, absorbed some essays that use Didion--but have read none of her books. You have inspired me to correct that lacuna in my reading and education.
So glad to hear this! I cannot more highly recommend starting with "Slouching Towards Bethlehem," a collection of essays from the 60's. Hope you enjoy.
Yes!! Very exciting news. I've read a fair amount of her archival material in UC Berkeley's Bancroft Library, including typewritten letters to close friends, but I can't wait for this collection to come out.
