A review by dejnozkova
Let Me Tell You What I Mean by Joan Didion

hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

4.5

Love love loved this book. I read The White Album before this (and I did enjoy it), but I like Let Me Tell You What I Mean a whole lot more. Along with her usual keen observations of American society and trends, Didion is much more analytical in this collection. She writes with more of a purpose and she also flips perspectives on certain topics that make you reconsider what you’ve previously thought. I also felt more emotionally connected with more of her pieces in this one as she seems more tapped into sentimentality and studying the nature of life on top of recording cultural phenomena.
