The White Album by Joan Didion

I’d read some of the essays in high school but glad I eventually went back and read the whole collection. Crazy how she can write about Bogota and orchids and the Ritz Carlton and migraines with most distinct, razor sharp commentary. I crave her self-assuredness.

A good collection of essays from this icon of 60s and 70s (and 80s?) non-fiction. Occasionally gets a bit too self-indulgent, but that's the writer.

jeg... ved ikke rigtig. de er sådan en bog om essays men mange af dem var mega spurgte. de handlede alle om noget fra 50-70'erne men hvis man ikke selv har levet i den tid er det lidt akavet. hun namedropper mere end patty og jeg ved seriøst ikke hvem de mennesker er. sproget var ret interesant. men det er ret sjovt at i starten af bogen skrev hun om den diagnosis hun fik konstateret, og igennem bogen skriver hun om ting mere sane end almindelige mennesker.
