Joan Didion (b. 1934) is an American icon. Her essays, particularly
those in Slouching Towards Bethlehem and The White Album, have
resonated in American culture to a degree unmatched over the past
half century. Two generations of writers have taken her as the
measure of what it means to write personal essays. No one writes
about California, the sixties, media narratives, cultural
mythology, or migraines without taking Didion into account. She has
also written five novels; several screenplays with her husband,
John Gregory Dunne; and three late-in-life memoirs, including The
Year of Magical Thinking and Blue Nights, which have brought her a
new wave of renown. Conversations with Joan Didion features
seventeen interviews with the author spanning decades, continents,
and genres. Didion reflects on her childhood in Sacramento; her
time at Berkeley (both as a student and later as a visiting
professor), New York, and Hollywood; her marriage to Dunne; and of
course her writing. Didion describes her methods of writing, the
ways in which the various genres she has worked in inform one
another, and the concerns that have motivated her to write.
