I'm sorry that I have not always had Didion with me, but I have her now and that's what matters.

I want to list favorite essays from this book, but it's too difficult! I really like Marrying Absurb. The one of self-respect is also great.

I went to California, so I decided it's finally time to read some Joan
Didion, and now I love her so much. Start with the last essay, "Goodbye to
All That." You will immediately want to read everything she's ever
written. There isn't a single miss in the collection. ...more
one of those college books that i fell in love with, and have toted with me around the world. didion cannot be matched, as far as i'm concerned, particularly in her personal essays. i am always awed by her sentences.

I love immersing myself in Joan Didion's wonderful, concise and observant prose. I drool over her stylistic prose and believe that she is one of a few writers who absolutely nail California and its strange ambiance.
