Where I Was from by Joan Didion

4.0

A thought-provoking exploration on the history of California as well as the history of generations of Didion’s ancestors before her. As much as I love Didion’s writing and admire her work, I can truthfully say that I wouldn’t have enjoyed this as much if I wasn’t a California resident. Being a California resident, it was a treat to read about the local places and events mentioned in this book. Regardless, it’s no question that Didion is one of the greatest journalists of all time and it really shines through in this collection.
