Joan Didion

Joan Didion is a very talented writer. The way she describes the littlest things like directions to a street or how the women in California are so generic but gives them this vibrancy. It is nice to see an author who isn't afraid to tell it how it is and doesn't care if the California girls-I mean women- take offense to how they are portrayed as the women who will wind up getting a divorce and to wind up going to beauty school. I like how she's puts in what some people would say as useless information like what Lucille Miller had to do the day her husband died or what time in the day it is while talking to officers or friends. I enjoyed reading her story and would probably enjoy reading other works from her as well.
