JOAN DIDION Sandra Braman The reportage of Joan Didion always tells us about the same thingla situacion, the situationwhether she is reporting from San Salvador or Miami or Los Angeles, whether the subject is the water supply or a presidential campaign. Her writing is powerful in several ways: aesthetically, journalistically, psychologically, morally, and politically. Though typically considered a journalist, Didion can also be read as an existentialist. She differs from writers like Beckett or Sartre, however, in her detail. Insistently concrete, Didion focuses always on the specificities that both mask and reveal the universal. Dense stories about unique individuals and circumstances are, for her, tales of "triumph over nothingness" (1979a, 66), what Davenport calls "a desperation of purposelessness" (1970, 903). She also sets herself apart by the millennial tone of her writing, the flat-voiced recounting of the most horrible of tales. Millennial events are not teleological for Didion; rather, they appear within a constantly shifting environment in which meaning is ominous but unclear. As we build toward the year 2000, Didion's tone is spreading throughout the culture. Technically, Didion is immaculate and original. As early as 1963, literary critic Guy Davenport could say, "Her prose is her servant" (371). She understands grammar as a source of "infinite power":

Joan Didion Joan Didion is an essayest and novelist with a rather cool, minimalist style. I happen to really like her collection of essays, THE WHITE ALBUM (Simon and Schuster), which has just recently been reissued, and her novel, THE BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER (Simon and Schuster). She is obsessed with the notion of narrativeor rather, the lack of narrative orderin our everyday lives. Her work is curiously dispassionate and yet intensely personal. She writes about disasters, the possibility of disaster, and the mindset of those who live with both affluence and disaster. Granted, she is not to every taste. Back to Grammar. Return to Contents.

Back to the @Herald home page Didion's latest too self-important Joan Didion, if nothing else, has the distinction of being popular. "That essay," a Didion fan declared when she saw a copy of "On Keeping a Notebook" on my desk, "changed my life." The very next day, the woman behind the Clinique counter at the Co-op saw me carrying a copy of Didion's latest novel, The Last Thing He Wanted under my arm, leaned over the counter and confessed, "I love Joan Didion." Joan Didion has always carried a mystiquemaybe it's the wrap-around sunglasses, the afternoon Bloody Marys, the container of coffee from Chock Full O' Nuts that got her through her job at Vogue on two hours of sleep. But recently, she's been attracting the kind of press normally reserved for film stars and the society women she once sent up in her essays. In the same circles where the unveiling of an antique Gucci bag can elicit kudos, the release of The Last Thing He Wanted has been greeted with a flurry of publicity. It started with a full-page photograph in The New Yorker in July, followed by profiles in

@import "/css/default-b.css"; Home Your account Current issue Archives ... NYR Books The New York Review of Books January 16, 2003 Feature Fixed Opinions, or The Hinge of History By Joan Didion The following is based on a lecture given this November at the New York Public Library. Later I remembered thinking: 1967, no problem, no land mines there. I put on my glasses. I began to read. "New York was no mere city," the marked lines began. "It was instead an infinitely romantic notion, the mysterious nexus of all love and money and power, the shining and perishable dream itself." I hit the word "perishable" and I could not say it. I found myself onstage at the Herbst Theater in San Francisco unable to finish reading the passage, unable to speak at all for what must have been thirty seconds. All I can say about the rest of that evening, and about the two weeks that followed, is that they turned out to be nothing I had expected, nothing I had ever before experienced, an extraordinarily open kind of traveling dialogue, an encounter with an America apparently immune to conventional wisdom. The book I was making the trip to talk about was Political Fictions , a series of pieces I had written for The New York Review These people understood that when Judy Woodruff, on the evening the President first addressed the nation, started talking on CNN about what "a couple of Democratic consultants" had told her about how the President would be needing to position himself, Washington was still doing business as usual. They understood that when the political analyst William Schneider spoke the same night about how the President had "found his vision thing," about how "this won't be the Bush economy any more, it'll be the Osama bin Laden economy," Washington was still talking about the protection and perpetuation of its own interests.

From Off Center: Essays by Barbara Grizzutti Harrison JOAN DIDION: ONLY DISCONNECT (October, 1979) I chose first, for no particular reason, to read an essay from Slouching Towards Bethlehem, "Some Dreamers of the Golden Dream." In this essay, Didion reports, or purports to report, on the murder case of one Lucille Maxwell Miller, who was convicted by the State of California of having killed her husband by dousing him with gasoline and allowing him to burn to death while he slept in a Volkswagen she had been driving. Until I sat down to write this essay, I could not, in fact, remember whether Lucille Maxwell Miller had been convicted or acquitted. Now, unlike the heroines of Didion's fiction, I do not regard memory as an affliction; I remember. I remember in part because I have no choice, but also in part because (unlike Didion's heroines, whose fate depends less upon memory and volition than upon selective amnesia), I believe that without memory there is no civilization. To complain ("I am so tired of remembering things") of remembering is to express a wish to be dead, to return to some pre-Edenic state in which good and evil, right and wrong, do not exist. It is a wish to erase not only one's personal painful past but our collective past which, in turn, is an invitation to believe that we cannot, individually or collectively, affect the present or the future. No; in fact, her subject is always herself.
