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

G-money: 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)

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

Germany on Jan 25, 2019

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).

gmesick: 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!
