Where I Was From by Joan Didion

2.0

This was the only Joan Didion book that the library had on the shelf, and ended up not being what I was expecting. The sections dealing with Californian history tended to blur into lists of names that meant very little to me - quite possibly, this would have been different if I were Californian myself.

The sections where Didion speaks more personally, mainly about her own experiences, caught my fancy much more. This leads me to guess that some of her other works might be more appealing to me.
