This essay collection has taught me that there are better and worse times to read particular books for oneself, and tho ai don’t blame Didion, and tho I liked quite a few turns of phrase in the first quarter of this book, I really didn’t come to it at the right time and found her choice of subject boring, her discursive style wearying.
