Joan Didion What She Means
$50
In Joan Didion: What She Means, the writer and curator Hilton Als creates a mosaic that explores Didion's life and work and the feeling each generates in her admirers, detractors and critics.
Featuring over 50 artists and three previously uncollected texts by Didion herself. Organized chronologically, the book examines Didion's unique perspective shaped by her California roots and New York life, using art across various mediums (painting, photography, film, etc.) to create a mosaic of her cultural impact. It's a tribute that combines art, literature, and cultural history, reflecting Didion's clear-eyed, poetic, and unflinching style.
