Overview

The first nonfiction work by one of the most distinctive prose stylists of our era, Joan Didion's Slouching Towards Bethlehem remains, decades after its first publication, the essential portrait of America--particularly California--in the sixties. It focuses on such subjects as John Wayne and Howard Hughes, growing up a girl in California, ruminating on the nature of good and evil in a Death Valley motel room, and, especially, the essence of San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury, the heart of the counterculture.

  • Disappointed.

    Connie C. - 4 years 10 months ago

    Did not care for her tone or demeanor. She looked down on her subjects.

  • Important modern essayist

    Mitzi S. - 5 years 10 months ago

    Her essays, though set in the 60's and 70's, discuss the currents of change and dissolution in modern American society, relevant topics for today. This relevancy pushes her to the forefront of American writers today. #SummerReading
