Joan Didion, who in essentially a diary format of mere remarks, observations and recollections from a month long sorjoun in the south of America has created something that reads so wonderfully and with wonderful turn of phrase. I want to write like this, but sadly cannot.

The individual raised to mystic level, mysticism with no religious basis.
The tension between South(East) and West, heightened and highlighted in all its (vain)glory:

I’m not a massive didion fan, but she is definitely at her best when writing these travel essays about the places she’s been. her observations and meditations on the southeast are funny and reflective, taking you into the culture without just enough judgement, but little disdain.
