South and West: From A Notebook
Two extended excerpts from one of Didion's never-before-seen notebooks. The first 'South' was put to paper during a road trip taken with her husband in June 1970 through three southern states, and, the second 'West' began as a writing assignment for Rolling Stoneon the Patty Hearst trial of 1976 but then took on a life of its own.
Offering an illuminating glimpse into legendary writer Joan Didion's mind and process, South and West shows an acute understanding of the American political and cultural landscape, with her signature irony and imagination at play.
