Joan Didion (December 5, 1934 - December 23, 2021), born in Sacramento, California, was an American author, screenwriter, and journalist. Her writing during the 1960s through the late 1970s engaged audiences in the realities of the counterculture of the 1960s, the Hollywood lifestyle, and the history and culture of California. She is considered one of the pioneers of New Journalism, along with Gay Talese, Truman Capote, Norman Mailer, Hunter S. Thompson, and Tom Wolfe. In the following audio recording, Didion reads from her novel, A Book of Common Prayer.

Not so much about the novel or the reading but the rare window into this iconic authors voice and point of view. For that I loved the glimpses of her process and the time capsule into the 70s, and wished there was more.

Loved the QA with Didion
