## Description

Joan Didion’s savage masterpiece, which, since first publication in 1968, has been acknowledged as an unparalleled report on the state of America during the upheaval of the Sixties Revolution.We forget all too soon the things we thought we could never forget. We forget the loves and the betrayals alike, forget what we whispered and what we screamed, forget who we wereIn her non-fiction work, Joan Didion not only describes the subject at hand – her younger self loving and leaving New York, the murderous housewife, the little girl trailing the rock group, the millionaire bunkered in his mansion – but also offers a broader vision of the world, one that is both terrifying and tender, ominous and uniquely her own.

Review: Short - Good
Review: A rare piece - It was definitely a difficult read for me given that it has a lot of cultural references ofthe USA that too of the 60s. But, what writing!! These are some of the best essays on counter cultural movements and self reflections I have read. They come from a place of pure observation without any judgement. Yet, they leave you with something, a visual that's too fatal and enchanting at the same time. This was my first Didion and the book isn't about me or the place I belong to. It's about a world I have never ventured in and yet the author resonates. Such a rare piece.
