  • More about Joan Didion: What She Means

In her captivating book, Joan Didion: What She Means, writer and curator Hilton Als delves into the intricate connection between Didion's life and work, eliciting a range of emotions among her admirers, detractors, and critics. Presented chronologically, the book showcases Didion's fascination with the two coasts that shaped her, as a Westerner who found herself transplanted to New York. With the tender and discerning gaze of a daughter who ventured out and returned, Didion was able to examine her native land, its customs, and the rigid norms governing behavior. From her vantage point in New York, Didion also closely observed the political landscape, penning thought-provoking essays on topics such as Clinton, El Salvador, and, most notably, the Central Park Five. This remarkable book features over 50 artists, spanning a diverse range of mediums, including painting, ephemera, photography, sculpture, video, and film. Additionally, it includes three previously unpublished texts by Didion: "In Praise of Unhung Wreaths and Love" (1969), a much-excerpted commencement address delivered at UC Riverside in 1975, and "The Year of Hoping for Stage Magic" (2007).
