Slouching Towards Bethlehem

Didion is no slouch herself; Didion can write. She shows her talent in these twenty short essays, first published in the mid-1960's. Clear writing. Crisp writing. Beautiful.



Some of the topics for her essays feel dated now, forty years later. That's okay; despite this, the essays were so well written that it did not matter that no one is terribly concerned with San Francisco and hippies any more.
