This is going to be a book to pick at. Didion has a subtle way of getting to me, but she gets to me like few other essayists can; this book is downright difficult/necessary for me to read in its entirety. Slow-going it will go.

Beautiful, clean prose. A book that needs read at the right moments, but needs read. Joan Didion puts her rawest out there with grace and not a hint of grandiosity or self-pity. She's just crisp, clean, raw. It's what I love about her writing, and why it's so damn hard to read sometimes.
