Slouching Towards Bethlehem by Joan Didion
Joan Didions savage masterpiece, which, since first publication in 1968, has been acknowledged as an unparalleled report on the state of America during the upheaval of the Sixties Revolution."Didion's essays of a world featuring barricades and bombings, mass murders and kidnapped heiresses make recent history as filtered through her seem a savage and passionate drama, something you can put a hand on and feel it beating, something you can put your ear to and hear its story"
VILLAGE VOICE
"Brilliant, troubling, indelible tales and reflections."
SAN DIEGO TRIBUNE
"Reveals a wholly original analytic mind, a sensibility as expansive and idiosyncratic as a 19th-century novelist's."
MONA SIMPSON
"Our quintessential essayist."
JERRY KOSINSKI, 'LA Times'
