Four stars alone for "Some Dreamers of the Golden Dream," "On Keeping a Notebook," "On Self Respect," "On Morality," and "Goodbye to All That." Don't much remember the rest.

I love Joan Didion’s casual prose and the way she can transport a reader to a different place & time.  The topics of these essays are very intriguing and at gives a great insight into both California in the 1969s but also her internal world.

There's no one like Sacramento native Joan Didion to provide a unique perspective in her essays about California in the 1960s.

Love her voice and insights- especially on keeping a notebook and goodbye to all that (except for notes from a native daughter tbh)
