Joan Didion

Author

Joan Didion was one of America's most revered writers — an essayist, novelist, screenwriter, and literary icon whose prose defined an era of American writing. Her unflinching, crystalline style transformed personal observation into cultural criticism of the highest order. Blue Nights is her deeply personal meditation on ageing, illness,... memory, and the loss of her daughter, Quintana Roo, written with the same devastating precision that characterised The Year of Magical Thinking. Didion remains one of the most important American writers of the twentieth century. Her audiobooks and books are essential listening and reading for anyone who values fearless, beautifully wrought literary non-fiction. Read more Show less
