compilation of esaays from didion. Her writing style is so unique and personal, very youthful, she could write about a rock and itād be insightful. Her essay on self respect changed me

A beautiful collection.
Iām truthfully only half way through still. growing up in the same California as Didion it all feels especially potent, even today.
Somehow her writing and voice have made me more comfortable in my own voice and writings. The first section of articles, lifestyles in the golden state, feel just as impactful and meaningful as they did at the time (1960-70s to be exact).
I think a lot of Joanās ālittle girlsā in the title essay of the collection. Little girls, anywhere from 3-20 years old. Iām not so far off from them in age, still just as naive and vulnerable to all the corruptions in the world. 16 year old little girls, 5 year old little girls, 22 year old little girlsā¦ something about Joanās writings put my own naivety and youth into perspective, how little I know, how vulnerable I still am, just like them.
10/10 recommend (maybe Iām just bias as we are both sacramento girls), she IS the definition of āCalifornia coolā for a reason. As said somewhere, āSacramentoās finest exportā truly.
