Description
Joan Didion's notebooks from the 1970s offer a piercing view of the American political and cultural landscape. In "South and West From a Notebook", two extended excerpts from her notebooks are presented, tracing a road trip through the American southwest and exploring the country's culture and history.
These essays, "Notes on the South" and "California Notes", reveal Didion's acute observations of the small towns she passed through, her interviews with local figures, and her preoccupation with race, class, and heritage. They also provide an illuminating glimpse into her mind and process.
Read together, these essays form a compelling portrait of the American southwest and the country's enduring cultural and historical themes.
