Rudolf Marko:
This is an excellent collection of the journalistic writing of Joan Didion. I use the book for reading, and to polish my own style.

El contenido como todo lo que escribe esta autora es excelente. Lamentablemente, mi ejemplar llegó muy maltratado de la solapa.

Amazing quality and comprehensive edition. Mine just arrived, and I chose it as an introductory reader for me, for an author who of course is well known for her classics to many of you. So I can't comment on content, but surely it speaks for itself. If you are looking for a great collection in hardcover, this is a fine choice, and unbelievable for around $20 on amazon. (dust flap states $35)

Literarisch brillant und ein Stück Zeitgeschichte - dazu noch zügig geliefert...

Dellano Rios:
Joan Didion não tem muita coisa em catálogo no Brasil. O que é uma pena. Mas, para quem arrisca ler em inglês, esse volume é uma excelente pedida, porque reúne os sete primeiros livros de não ficção que ela escreveu. Capa dura, papel bom e um preço bem mais em conta do que o de comprar os volumes separados. O material cobre os escritos de Didion dos anos 1960 até a década de 1980. Os temas são variados, desde um olhar pessoal sobre a cultura e a sociedade americana na intensa década de 1960 até suas obras políticas. Didion é conhecida por um texto preciso, por uma construção digna da melhor literatura. Seu fazer jornalístico se insere no que se convencionou chamar New Journalism (Novo Jornalismo).

I am a fan of Joan Didion, the late John Leonard, and Everyman's Library. Here you get all three. What's not to like?
Joan Didion's "Goodbye to All That" is a classic personal essay--one of my favorite pieces of writing of any kind. And here, you get that, and all the other essays from her seminal "Slouching Towards Bethlehem"--and every other collection of non-fiction up to the time this collection was released. Read together, you get a sense of America in the latter part of the 20th century, with particular emphasis on California as aspiration, dream, illusion, etc etc.
The introduction by John Leonard is well-done and shows a real understanding of the whole body of Didion's work.
And then Everyman does its usual fine job of packaging great writing in an attractive package at a reasonable price. Mind you, this is one heavy tome, with seven full books rolled into one (1100 pages). But you want them all. So here they are. Enjoy!
