Description
Joan Didion's reportorial pieces offer the pleasures of literature, providing insight into the American public culture landscape. In "After Henry", she explores the mythic narratives that elude other observers, uncovering the fantasies constructed around crime victims and presidential candidates.
The book charts America's rollercoaster ride through evanescent booms and hard times, offering new interpretations of stories such as those of Nancy Reagan and Patty Hearst. A bracing amalgam of skepticism and sympathy, "After Henry" is a thought-provoking exploration of the true spirit of our age.
