Description: Joan's scarce second book is a collection of essays and the title piece was written as an assignment for The Saturday Evening Post in 1967. In the preface Didion writes, "I went to San Francisco because I had not been able to work in some months, had been paralyzed by the conviction that writing was an irrelevant act, that the world as I had understood it no longer existed. If I was to work again at all, it would be necessary for me to come to terms with disorder." RIP Joan
