Slouching Towards Bethlehem
by Joan Didion
I’d actually give this book 3 1/2 stars, but alas, Goodreads and its lack of nuance. I rounded down because for every breathtaking essay there were three mind-bogglingly boring ones. Joan Didion is indeed a master of the genre, and if I were Eve Babitz, I would want to be a writer after reading her too, but I guess I’m just not that interested in white people intellectualizing being from California. I’m also not that interested in white people editorializing on things like morality. Sorry.
Ultimately, I’m into Joan as a writer myself, but not too much as a reader.
