kuruugaa 's review for:
South and West: From a Notebook
by Joan Didion
"It occurred to me almost constantly in the South, that had I lived there I would have been an eccentric and full of anger. I wondered what form it would have taken. Would I have taken up causes or would I have knifed somebody?" This quote simply amuses me as Didion reveals elsewhere that she weighs 96 lbs and was sometimes confused for a teenager as her hair was not "done." Imagine that same character knifing somebody.
"The weather around here must shape ideas of who and what one is, as it does everywhere." I think this ALL the time having grown up in two starkly different climates and seeing that people, generally, are likewise different. Compare the Southern Californians in their idyllic Mediterranean climate to the friendly, we're-all-in-this-together Midwesterners braving tornado summers, semi frequent blizzards, and horrible driving conditions.
