Blue Nights by Joan Didion

reflective medium-paced

3.0

I admit I am unfamiliar with Joan Didion. This is the first of her work that I've read and I really don't know anything about her as a person or her life aside from she's a well-respected investigative journalist. I found her writing to be an artful stream of consciousness--almost like a nonfiction version of Virginia Woolf's prose. That being said, I don't think this is a good first Didion to read. I think to truly appreciate it, you need to be well-versed in her body of work and life story.
