A review by cdionisio
Slouching Towards Bethlehem by Joan Didion

challenging emotional reflective slow-paced

4.5

I can understand the hype around Didion’s prose now. Her voice jumps off the page. One of the quotes on the back cover said she “paints a portrait of America” and I think they’re correct. “Neither villainous nor glamorous, but alive and botched and often mournfully beautiful.”
