A review by taelerk
The White Album by Joan Didion
3.0
I was very excited to read my first Didion and a little intimidated. I see why she is considered one of the greats, for I believe it is the way she thinks and analyzes the world that is most interesting about her.
It was a little dry of a read for me and at some points hard for me to understand what she was saying. I was born so far from the time she is describing a lot of it is lost on me. However, I particularly loved the section Sojourns. It was the most personal she got in the book, while still keeping an eye on the world around her. The Women's Movement section was hard for me to get through.
