A review by leucocrystal
Miami by Joan Didion

4.0

"What was also less clear then, particularly in Washington, most abstract of cities, entirely absorbed by the messages it was sending itself, narcotized by its own action, rapt in the contemplation of its own markers and its own moves, was just how much residue was already on the board."

This was fascinating. And considering that neither the politics of Miami nor South America, let alone those of D.C., have ever been an area I've been particularly drawn to studying in detail, that's saying something.
