Slouching Towards Bethlehem
Essays
by Joan Didion
Review this book!
The essays in Joan Didion's first--and groundbreaking--collection are mostly about the phenomena of the 1960's: the hippie world of Haight-Ashbury (the title essay), the politics of the peace movement, a Las Vegas wedding. Now considered a classic, SLOUCHING TOWARD BETHLEHEM introduced Didion's trademark style--cool, cerebral, darkly witty--and marked her out as an important commentator on the American political, cultural, and literary landscape.

Media Reviews
"Now that Truman Capote has pronounced that such work may achieve the stature of 'art,' perhaps it is possible for this collecion to be recognized as it should be: not as a better or worse example of what some people call 'mere journalism,' but as a rich display of some of the best prose written today in this country."
