From one of our most iconic and influential writers, this timeless collection of mostly early pieces reveals Joan Didion's subjects, including the press, politics, California robber barons, women, and her own self-doubt.

Two extended excerpts from notebooks Didion kept in the 1970s form a piercing view of the American political and cultural landscape.

"A New York Times Notable Book and National Bestseller, this stunning book of electric honesty and passion explores an intensely personal yet universal experience: a portrait of a marriage—and a life, in good times and bad—that will speak to anyone who has ever loved a husband or wife or child."

Includes seven books in one volume: the full texts of Slouching Towards Bethlehem; The White Album; Salvador; Miami; After Henry; Political Fictions; and Where I Was From, providing an incisive and chilling look at a modern world where things are not working as they should—and where the oblique and official language is as sinister as the events it is covering up.
