Slouching Towards Bethlehem by Joan Didion

mysterious reflective relaxing slow-paced

4.0

My first venture into Joan Didion’s work turns out to be a success! I can see why such a cult has formed around her writing. She had a real mastery over the english language, wielding just the right words to capture hard to define emotions and experiences. A distinctly American collection of essays, some references to places or people flew over my English head, but nonetheless I loved reading this. The titular essay is undeniably the highlight, but Slouching Towards Bethelehem is full of gems. I’m looking forward to reading The White Album.
