jeg... ved ikke rigtig. de er sådan en bog om essays men mange af dem var mega spurgte. de handlede alle om noget fra 50-70'erne men hvis man ikke selv har levet i den tid er det lidt akavet. hun namedropper mere end patty og jeg ved seriøst ikke hvem de mennesker er. sproget var ret interesant. men det er ret sjovt at i starten af bogen skrev hun om den diagnosis hun fik konstateret, og igennem bogen skriver hun om ting mere sane end almindelige mennesker.

I kept changing my mind about this book. The writing is definitely beautiful, but a large portion of the book is just spent finding ways that little thing were symbolic of the wrongs of the changing world, but the end kind of put it all together. There were definitely some points where she said something that I had been feeling but unable to put into words in the most eloquent way humanly possible. If you are depressed and want your depression put into words, highly recommend this book. If you are cynical, I highly recommend this book. If you love the sixties and want to read an author that defined the times, you will probably be disappointed by this book.

Jaa, vad ska man säga. En rad artiklar som alla har något så personligt men samtidigt så allmänt typ? Hennes liv, hennes tankar, hennes sätt att skriva på är något jag avundas. I och med att den inte hade något större röd tråd är den inte riktig 5/5 men väldigt nära :)

This is my first time reading Joan Didion, and now I think I could read her writing on literally anything and be entranced. Can't wait to read The Year of Magical Thinking soon.
