A very thought provoking read, and although it was written almost 20 years ago, the intervening time gives us even greater insight into the American psyche. I wish Joan Didion would write an essay on this year, election, pandemic and all.

Read for my Modernism and Postmodernism class. I had to lead discussion for this book, so I got very well acquainted with it. That said, I really liked it. The ideas presented were well thought out and expressed, and I resonated with a lot of her ideas around the nature of discussion in America post-9/11. Very enjoyable, 4 stars

This his short discussion of the birth of the tendency towards “fixed ideas,” (unchallengeable opinions) in US politics following 9/11 provides some historical context for unpacking and understanding our modern political climate. It made for a thoughtful read this July 4th morning.
