I finally finished reading these essays for the second time. It was well worth it; a chronicle of politics in America in the eighties and nineties; not surprising how not that much has changed. The deck chairs have been rearranged since then. Perhaps the youth of that time have grown into more enlightened grownups. Perhaps not.

Joan Didion. An invaluable American voice.

Some interesting information, but overall not really engaging. Didion's descriptions are interesting, but it feels like these lack context. As someone who wasn't alive when most of these happened, I felt I was missing a lot of important information.
