I really wanted to like this. Every time I picked it up. All holiday long. 69 out of 126 pages. I’m done. It’s just not for me. Some great imagery but not enough to keep me flipping the pages.
Read another 20 pages after reading another review. Still nothing. Some books just don’t resonate.

Reading this reminded me I've been meaning to read more Didion. Her notebooks show finer writing and deeper thought than most polished work. I've always admired her intellect, but respect her even more now - after reading her observations of traveling through the south in 1970. Of course, she traveled wrapped in many layers of privilege (race, class, education), but she did travel there, not in conjunction with a writing assignment or any purpose except to try and understand the region.

The South section was such gorgeous writing, evoked such a feeling of being there, that I was super disappointed in the West section, which, frankly, should have been left off of this.
