Whether writing fiction, memoir, or trailblazing journalism, her gifts for narrative and dialogue, and her intimate but detached authorial persona, have won her legions of readers and admirers. Now Library of America launches its multi-volume edition of Didion's collected writings, prepared in consultation with the author, that brings together her fiction and nonfiction for the first time. Collected in this first volume are Didion's five iconic books from the 1960s and 1970s: Run River, Slouching Towards Bethlehem, Play It As It Lays, A Book of Common Prayer, and The White Album. Whether writing about countercultural San Francisco, the Las Vegas wedding industry, Lucille Miller, Charles Manson, or the shopping mall, Didion achieves a wonderful negative sublimity without condemning her subjects or condescending to her readers. Chiefly about California, these books display Didion's genius for finding exactly the right language and tone to capture America's broken twilight landscape at a moment of headlong conflict and change." -- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Didion, Joan $x Criticism and interpretation. 650 0 $a American essays $y 20th century. 650 0 $a American fiction $y 20th century. 600 17 $a Didion, Joan. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00028514 650 7 $a American essays. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807040 650 7 $a American fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807048 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a Essays. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919922 655 7 $a Novels. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921742 655 7 $a Essays. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Ulin, David L., $e editor. 740 02 $a Run, river. 740 02 $a Slouching towards Bethehem. 740 02 $a Play it as it lays. 740 02 $a A book of common prayer. 740 02 $a The white album. 830 0 $a Library of America ; $v 325. 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20221203070056.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317030143.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CD93951E586511EA978CCE3397128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
