Some Dreamers of the Golden Dream ✨
I hadn’t heard of this Lucille Miller’s case before. I liked this essay a lot, made me think of The Glass Castle and the promise of the CA desert in Jeanette Walls life.
I found a fun article that Debra Miller, Lucille’s daughter wrote about her relationship to this essay that talks about going from hating the essay -> finding Didion a genius

Joan on the counterculture movement:
“This was not a traditional generational rebellion. At some point between 1945 and 1967 we had somehow neglected to tell these children the rules of the game we happened to be playing.”
