this fabulous biography about the queen of cool expands on ideas she presented in “Where I Was From” and really fleshes out the life of one of our greatest authors.

This is an essay collection, not a novel, but her writing style and insights on her contemporary culture still hold up. She really draws the reader into her world

When I first read this book (my first Didion) I thought: Oh, this is what everyone I admire has been reading! She is the OG!! The way she writes about life, about the world we all live in... it's just honest and completely lucid.

Did you know that using industrial soap over long periods of time (say, in the workplace) can actually give you acute dermatitis? My hands looked a hundred years old until I started using this stuff. Weleda is a revered Swiss skin care company that has been in busimess for like over a 100 years or something? And the product is at least mostly natural, if not all. I don’t fact check, deal with it. The important thing is that I am now not embarrassed by my hands which is nice bc I’m super vain. Sub-rec: bring your own hand soap to work and hide it in the bathroom!

Red Scare bc I feel smarter when I listen, and Ride bc I want to be a bimbo too. Both are hilarious but in different ways. Totally enjoyable listening if you don’t take really anything too seriously. 10/10/10.
