After Henry Didion Joan Book Review AUTHOR: Didion, Joan ISBN: 0679745394 Compare price for this book Authors A-Z Didion Joan After Henry - Book Review, by Didion, Joan Annotation In her latest forays into the American scene, the author of Miami, Democracy, and Salvador covers ground from Washington to Los Angeles and from a TV producer's mansion to the racial battlefields of New York's criminal courts. And along the way, she reveals the mythic narratives that other commentators miss. From the Publisher "We tell ourselves stories in order to live" was the opening line of Joan Didion's celebrated The White Album. In After Henry, her new collection of pieces, most of them reported and written for The New York Review of Books and The New Yorker, she examines, precisely and suggestively, the stories people tell themselves - about murders and earthquakes and wildfires, about presidential politics and Patricia Hearst and Central Park "wilding," about boom years passing and hard times coming down - in Washington and in California and in New York. Joan Didion's two previous collections, Slouching Towards Bethlehem and The White Album, are now established as classics. Salvador and Miami stand as hallmarks of political reporting. After Henry is a major literary event. From The Critics Publisher's Weekly One of America's premier essayists discusses Patty Hearst, the Central Park ogger, the 1988 Hollywood writers' strike, Reagan and Bush. (May)

15. The Salon Interview: Joan Didion joan didion . BY DAVE EGGERS. joan didion s new novel, The Last Thing He Wanted, is her first in 12 years. Set in 1984 http://www.salon.com/oct96/didion961028.html

BY DAVE EGGERS J Some things that you probably know but if not will be helpful in enjoying this interview: Didion is married to John Gregory Dunne, and has been for a long time. When she says "we," he makes "we." Though she no longer writes the sort of personal-social essays that made up books like "The White Album" and "Slouching Towards Bethlehem," she still contributes journalism and critical essays to magazines like The New Yorker and The New York Review of Books. In person she is very small. She is also graceful, personable, warm and funny. With "The Last Thing He Wanted," I read that you weren't sure how it was going to turn out until you were finished with it. For example, one of the first things I had started with in this book was the idea of this woman walking off a campaign. Because I'd covered some campaigns in '88 and '92, I wanted to use some of that sense of a campaign. So then, I didn't know, then she would go to Miami to see her father. Then, I couldn't figure out where she'd been. Then I decided she ought to be from Los Angeles and had been married to someone in the oil business. That kind of gave me a fresh start. But then I was having to get her from Los Angeles to being a political reporter, right? It was a really hard thing to do. It was also a lot of fun. There were certain chapters where it does sound like you're starting from scratch almost, when you start hearing about Elena's dreams, for example.

16. Why I Write Excerpts from Why I write. From The New York Times Magazine, December 5, 1976. Copyright 1976 by joan didion and The New York Times Company. Used without permission. Of course I stole the title from http://www.idiom.com/~rick/html/why_i_write.htm

Excerpts from Why I write From The New York Times Magazine , December 5, 1976. Of course I stole the title from this talk, from George Orwell. One reason I stole it was that I like the sound of the words: Why I Write . There you have three short unambiguous words that share a sound, and the sound they share is this: I I I In many ways writing is the act of saying I , of imposing oneself upon other people, of saying listen to me, see it my way, change your mind. Its an aggressive, even a hostile act. You can disguise its aggressiveness all you want with veils of subordinate clauses and qualifiers and tentative subjunctives, with ellipses and evasionswith the whole manner of intimating rather than claiming, of alluding rather than statingbut theres no getting around the fact that setting words on paper is the tactic of a secret bully, an invasion, an imposition of the writers sensibility on the readers most private space. I stole the title not only because the words sounded right but because they seemed to sum up, in a no-nonsense way, all I have to tell you. Like many writers I have only this one "subject," this one "area": the act of writing. I can bring you no reports from any other front. I may have other interests: I am "interested," for example, in marine biology, but I don’t flatter myself that you would come out to hear me talk about it. I am not a scholar. I am not in the least an intellectual, which is not to say that when I hear the word "intellectual" I reach for my gun, but only to say that I do not think in abstracts. During the years when I was an undergraduate at Berkeley, I tried, with a kind of hopeless late-adolescent energy, to buy some temporary visa into the world of ideas, to forge for myself a mind that could deal with abstract.

I write entirely to find out what I'm thinking, what I'm looking at, what I see and what it means, what I want, and what I fear. The fancy that extraterrestrial life is by definition of a higher order than our own is one that soothes all children, and many writers. A place belongs forever to whoever claims it hardest, remembers it most obsessively, wrenches it from itself, shapes it, renders it, loves it so radically that he remakes it in his own image.
