In The White Album, Joan Didion famously wrote that "a place
belongs forever to whoever claims it hardest, remembers it most
obsessively...loves it so radically that he remakes it in his
image." Cruising in her Daytona yellow Corvette Stingray, taking it
all in behind dark glasses, Joan Didion claimed California for all
time. Slouching Towards Los Angeles is a multi-faceted portrait of
the literary icon who, in turn, belongs to us. This collection of
original essays covers the turf that made Didion a
sensation-Hollywood and Patty Hearst; Malibu, Manson and the
Mojave; the Summer of Love and the Central Park Five-while bringing
together some of the finest voices of today's Los Angeles and
beyond. Slouching Towards Los Angeles is a love letter and thank
you note; personal memoir and social commentary; cultural history
and literary critique. Fans of Didion, lovers of California, and
fellow writers alike will all find something to dig into, in this
rich exploration of the inner and outer landscapes Joan Didion
traveled, shaping our own journeys in the process. Featuring essays
