This is a collection of Joan Didion articles written in the 1960s for different magazines over the decade as read by Maya Hawke. The articles are about such topics as the culture of the 60s, Howard Hughs, and John Wayne.

My daughter has been telling me to read Joan Didion for years and so when I saw this collection I jumped to grab it. Her writing is just beautiful and even on such topics as the ones she is writing about, she can transport you to the place and time of her narration. Maya Hawke is as engaging a narrator as I can imagine. I originally thought I would listen to one article and then have another book on standby to switch back and forth, but in the end I just ingested the whole audiobook at once because the writing was so good. I guess my daughter was right, now I have to read one Joan Didion’s books.

Thank you to Macmillan Audio and NetGalley for the ARC to review
