sophie_lg 's review for:
Slouching Towards Bethlehem
by Joan Didion
"Remember what it was to be me: that is always the point"
Oh how I loved this book and everything about it - I read it after watching "The Center will not hold" and discovering Joan Didion. I'd heard about her, I guess, but I hadn't realized until then how at heart I would take everything. She made me want to go back to Los Angeles and feel its hard-to-love magic again. The more journalistic essays were compelling and beautifully written; and of course, the personal ones were my favourites and resonated with the uncertain young woman I still am. Some of her words still resonate with me. "... Deep in the part of my heart where the artificial rain forever falls, that is still the line I want to hear."
