Krátky popis
From one of the most important chroniclers of our time, come two
extended excerpts from her never-before-seen notebooks-writings
that offer an illuminating glimpse into the mind and process of a
legendary writer. Joan Didion has always kept notebooks: of
overheard dialogue, observations, interviews, drafts of essays and
articles Here is one such draft that traces a road trip she took
with her husband, John Gregory Dunne, in June 1970, through
Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. She interviews prominent local
figures, describes motels, diners, a deserted reptile farm, a visit
with Walker Percy, a ladies' brunch at the Mississippi
Broadcasters' Convention. She writes about the stifling heat, the
almost viscous pace of life, the sulfurous light, and the
preoccupation with race, class, and heritage she finds in the small
towns they pass through. And from a different notebook: the
",California Notes", that began as an assignment from Rolling Stone
on the Patty Hearst trial of 1976. Though Didion never wrote the
piece, watching the trial and being in San Francisco triggered
thoughts about the city, its social hierarchy, the Hearsts, and her
own upbringing in Sacramento. Here, too, is the beginning of her
thinking about the West, its landscape, the western women who were
heroic for her, and her own lineage.
