Really liked some of the essays, others not so much. Throughtoiyt the book/essays, I always was drawn toward Dideon's descriptions of place and geographies.

Beautiful prose, she made me long to live in Californian cities that I have never been to. I think that’s something special. I also couldn’t help but think of “California” by Joni Mitchell all throughout reading this.

I love Didion's writing, it is very catching, very casual. I enjoyed most of these essays, more so the ones about her own life than about others.

+ språket!! vill kunna skriva som henne nån dag :)
+ narrativet (gillade hennes egna berättarröst)
+/- vissa delar var väldigt träffande/tankeväckande elr gav perspektiv/inblick i ett helt annat sorts liv (favoriter: on keeping a notebook, notes from a native daughter, goodbye to all that)!! men andra förstod jag knappt pga att det var så mkt samtida referenser (60-talets kalifornien) jag inte kopplade :/

vill läsa om den om några år..

I read this last year and I’m still thinking about it. It blows my mind still.
