The World According to Joan Didion

This is an intimate exploration of Joan Didion’s life, craft, and legacy, inspiring fans and creatives to cultivate deep attention, rigorous interrogation, and beautiful style. A groundbreaking journalist, essayist, novelist, and screenwriter, Didion honed her keen observation of life’s telling details. Her insights encourage close observation, unsentimental criticism, and meticulous style.

An antidote to the narrowing global view, this book meditates on the people, places, and objects that propelled her prose. It invites journalists, storytellers, and adventurers to immerse themselves in the world, as she once said. Acclaimed journalist and professor Evelyn McDonnell, attuned to Didion’s vision, illuminates her life journey from Sacramento to Manhattan, Miami, and Hawaii. McDonnell reveals the world as seen through Didion’s eyes and explores her work.
