Slouching Towards Bethlehem or The White Album are both good places to start. My favorite is Where I Was From, which is more of a book-length essay about California. I am also a big fan of Play It As It Lays. It's a brutal, atmospheric novel. There's a documentary about her on Netflix made by her nephew Griffin Dunne called Joan Didion: the Center Will Not Hold that might be of interest to you if you haven't read any of her work yet (or even if you have).(less)
