Vintage Didion

by Joan Didion

This volume of Joan Didion pieces gets its title because its contents have been published by Random House in its Vintage imprint. Essentially, the selections are all examples of her political reporting, culled from the period beginning with Ronald Reagan and ending with George W. Bush and 9/11. In addition to essays, Didion's fiction is represented, with excerpts from SALVADOR and MIAMI.

Publisher Notes

Vintage Readers are a perfect introduction to some of the greatest modern writers presented in attractive, accessible paperback editions.

“Didion has the instincts of an exceptional reporter and the focus of a historian . . . a novelist’s appreciation of the surreal.” —Los Angeles Times Book Review

Whether she’s writing about civil war in Central America, political scurrility in Washington, or the tightl -braided myths and realities of her native California, Joan Didion expresses an unblinking vision of the truth.

Vintage Didion includes three chapters from Miami; an excerpt from Salvador; and three separate essays from After Henry that cover topics from Ronald Reagan to the Central Park jogger case. Also included is “Clinton Agonistes” from Political Fictions, and “Fixed Opinions, or the Hinge of History,” a scathing analysis of the ongoing war on terror.
