Journalist and author Joan Didion shares her most recent book, "After Henry," which examines news events, including the Central Park jogger case, and the impact of those cases on our lives.

Joan Didion (born December 5, 1934) is an American author best known for her novels and her literary journalism. Her novels and essays explore the disintegration of American morals and cultural chaos, where the overriding theme is individual and social fragmentation. A sense of anxiety or dread permeates much of her work.
For two years at Vogue, Didion worked her way up from promotional copywriter to associate feature editor. While there, she wrote her first novel, Run, River, which was published in 1963. She returned to California with her new husband, writer John Gregory Dunne, and in 1968, published Slouching Towards Bethlehem, her first work of nonfiction, a collection of magazine pieces about her experiences in California.[4]
In 1979, she published The White Album, another collection of magazine pieces from Life, Esquire, The Saturday Evening Post, The New York Times, and The New York Review of Books.
Play It As It Lays, set in Hollywood, was published in 1970 and A Book of Common Prayer was published in 1977. Her 1983 essay, Salvador, was written after a two-week-long trip to El Salvador with her husband. She also published Democracy in 1984, which narrates the story of a long but unrequited love affair between a wealthy heiress and an older man, a CIA officer, against the background of the Cold War and the Vietnam conflict. Her 1987 nonfiction book, Miami, looked at the Cuban expatriate community in Miami. In 1992, she published After Henry, a collection of twelve geographical essays. In 1996, she published The Last Thing He Wanted, a romantic thriller.
Dunne and Didion worked closely together for most of their careers, and indeed much of their writing is intertwined. With Dunne, Didion co-wrote a number of screenplays, including an adaptation of her novel Play It As It Lays. She and Dunne also spent eight years adapting the biography of journalist Jessica Savitch into the film Up Close & Personal.
Didion began writing The Year of Magical Thinking, a narrative of her response to the death of her husband and severe illness of their daughter, Quintana, on October 4, 2004, and finished the manuscript 88 days later on New Year's Eve.[5] She went on a book tour following the release of this memoir, doing many readings and interviews to promote it. She has said that she found the process very "therapeutic" during her period of mourning.[6]
In 2006, Everyman's Library published We Tell Ourselves Stories in Order to Live, a compendium of much of Didion's writing, including the full content of her first seven published nonfiction books Slouching Towards Bethlehem, The White Album, Salvador, Miami, After Henry, Political Fictions, and Where I Was From, with an introduction by her contemporary, the noted critic John Leonard.
In 2007, she began working on a one-woman adaptation of The Year of Magical Thinking. Produced by Scott Rudin, this Broadway play featured Vanessa Redgrave. Although at first she was hesitant about writing a play, she has since found this new genre to be quite exciting.[6]
Didion wrote early drafts of the screenplay for an HBO biopic directed by Robert Benton on the famous newspaper publisher Katharine Graham. It currently remains untitled. Sources say it may trace Graham's paper, The Washington Post, in its dogged reportage on the Watergate scandal which led to President Richard Nixon's resignation.[7] However, Didion is no longer working on that project.[8]
In 2011, Knopf published Blue Nights, a memoir about aging.[9] The book focuses on Didion's daughter, Quintana Roo Dunne, who died just before her previous memoir, The Year of Magical Thinking, was published. It addresses their relationship with “stunning frankness.” More generally, the book speaks to the anxieties Didion experienced about having and raising a child, and also about the aging process.
A photo of Didion shot by Juergen Teller was used as part of the luxury French brand Céline's Spring/Summer 2015 campaign.

Published in 1987. As Didion follows Miami's drift into a Third World capital, she also locates its position in the secret history of the Cold War, from the Bay of Pigs to the Reagan doctrine and from the Kennedy assassination to the Watergate break-in. Miami is not just a portrait of a city, but a masterly study of immigration and exile, passion, hypocrisy, and political violence.
Point #1: Although it reads like a novel populated with stock characters, Miami is a non-fictional piece of literature. At the time of its publication, it was classed under Current Events. Impressively, Didion moved to Miami in order to get a firsthand account of the changing Miami.
Point #2: If you happen to live in a city with a generous Spanish-speaking population, happen to speak Spanish yourself, or have spent a significant amount of time in Miami-Dade county (week-long vacations do not count), then the narrator's pronunciation of certain words will annoy you because of how obvious the mispronunciations are. The good thing is that her voice is clear and you don't have audible breathing like when listening to audiobook recordings by old men.
Point #3: In listening to (or reading) this book, you will see that Didion has a definite style of speech. You may be like me and not care for her nonrhythmic, repetitive delivery; however, I recommend you keep reading, because upon reflection you will learn that there are reasons for the emphases.
Point #4: As a piece of literature, I like (not love or underwhelmed by) the book. While the portrayal of Miami is one I am unaccustomed to (perhaps due to my age or my home being north of Miami's city limits), I still recommend the book. I alternated between reading and listening to Miami because I didn't want driving to interrupt the compelling narrative. As a result, I will look into Didion's other books.

Joan Didion
Joan Didion (born December 5, 1934) is an American author best known for her novels and her literary journalism. Her novels and essays explore the disintegration of American morals and cultural chaos, where the overriding theme is individual and social fragmentation. A sense of anxiety or dread permeates much of her work.
Childhood and education
Joan Didion was born and raised in Sacramento, California, to parents Frank Reese and Eduene (née Jerrett) Didion. Didion recalls writing things down as early as age five, though she claims that she never saw herself as a writer until after being published. She read everything she could get her hands on after learning how to read and even needed written permission from her mother to borrow adult books, biographies especially, from the library at a young age. With this, she identified herself as being a "shy, bookish child", who pushed herself to overcome her social anxiety through acting and public speaking.
As a child, Didion attended kindergarten and first grade, although, because her father was in the Army Air Corps during World War II and her family was constantly being relocated, she did not attend school on a regular basis. Then, in 1943 or early 1944, her family settled back in Sacramento, and her father went to Detroit to settle defense contracts for World War I and II. Didion wrote in her 2003 memoir Where I Was From that moving as often as her family did made her feel like a perpetual outsider.

Famous quotes by Joan Didion:
"Grammar is a piano I play by ear. All I know about grammar is its power."
"To free us from the expectations of others, to give us back to ourselves--there lies the great, singular power of self-respect."
"We forget all too soon the things we thought we could never forget"
"To have that sense of one's intrinsic worth which constitutes self-respect is potentially to have everything: the ability to discriminate, to love and to remain indifferent. To lack it is to be locked within oneself, paradoxically incapable of either love or indifference."
"We are well advised to keep on nodding terms with the people we used to be, whether we find them attractive company or not. Otherwise they turn up unannounced and surprise us, come hammering on the mind's door at 4am of a bad night and demand to know who deserted them, who betrayed them, who is going to make amends. We forget all too soon the things we thought we could never forget."
"That is one last thing to remember: writers are always selling somebody out"
"To cure jealousy is to see it for what it is, a dissatisfaction with self"
"A place belongs forever to whoever claims it hardest, remembers it most obsessively, wrenches it from itself, shapes it, renders it, loves it so radically that he remakes it in his own image."
"The willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life is the source from which self-respect springs."
"I write entirely to find out what I'm thinking, what I'm looking at, what I see and what it means. What I want and what I fear."
"Nonfiction is more personal for me. It's more personal in that it's more direct, and actually it's always been more direct, even when I first started doing pieces."
"One of the things that happens to people in grief is they secretly think they're crazy, because they realize they are thinking things that don't make sense."
"I was raised an Episcopalian. And I did not and I don't believe that anyone is looking out for me personally."
"It took me a couple of years after I got out of Berkeley before I dared to start writing. That academic mind-set - which was kind of shallow in my case anyway - had begun to fade."
"Was there ever in anyone's life span a point free in time, devoid of memory, a night when choice was any more than the sum of all the choices gone before?"
"When I'm working on a book, I constantly retype my own sentences. Every day I go back to page one and just retype what I have. It gets me into a rhythm."
"My own fantasies of what life would be like at 24 tended to the more spectacular."
"To free us from the expectations of others, to give us back to ourselves - there lies the great, singular power of self-respect."
"I recognize a lot of the things I'm going through. Like, I lose my temper a lot and I become unhinged and kind of hysterical."
"I have never started a novel - I mean except the first, when I was starting a novel just to start a novel - I've never written one without rereading Victory. It opens up the possibilities of a novel. It makes it seem worth doing."

For two years at Vogue, Didion worked her way up from promotional copywriter to associate feature editor. While there, she wrote her first novel, Run, River, which was published in 1963. She returned to California with her new husband, writer John Gregory Dunne, and in 1968, published Slouching Towards Bethlehem, her first work of nonfiction, a collection of magazine pieces about her experiences in California.[4]
In 1979, she published The White Album, another collection of magazine pieces from Life, Esquire, The Saturday Evening Post, The New York Times, and The New York Review of Books.
Play It As It Lays, set in Hollywood, was published in 1970 and A Book of Common Prayer was published in 1977. Her 1983 essay, Salvador, was written after a two-week-long trip to El Salvador with her husband. She also published Democracy in 1984, which narrates the story of a long but unrequited love affair between a wealthy heiress and an older man, a CIA officer, against the background of the Cold War and the Vietnam conflict. Her 1987 nonfiction book, Miami, looked at the Cuban expatriate community in Miami. In 1992, she published After Henry, a collection of twelve geographical essays. In 1996, she published The Last Thing He Wanted, a romantic thriller.
Dunne and Didion worked closely together for most of their careers, and indeed much of their writing is intertwined. With Dunne, Didion co-wrote a number of screenplays, including an adaptation of her novel Play It As It Lays. She and Dunne also spent eight years adapting the biography of journalist Jessica Savitch into the film Up Close & Personal.
Didion began writing The Year of Magical Thinking, a narrative of her response to the death of her husband and severe illness of their daughter, Quintana, on October 4, 2004, and finished the manuscript 88 days later on New Year's Eve.[5] She went on a book tour following the release of this memoir, doing many readings and interviews to promote it. She has said that she found the process very "therapeutic" during her period of mourning.[6]
In 2006, Everyman's Library published We Tell Ourselves Stories in Order to Live, a compendium of much of Didion's writing, including the full content of her first seven published nonfiction books Slouching Towards Bethlehem, The White Album, Salvador, Miami, After Henry, Political Fictions, and Where I Was From, with an introduction by her contemporary, the noted critic John Leonard.
In 2007, she began working on a one-woman adaptation of The Year of Magical Thinking. Produced by Scott Rudin, this Broadway play featured Vanessa Redgrave. Although at first she was hesitant about writing a play, she has since found this new genre to be quite exciting.[6]
Didion wrote early drafts of the screenplay for an HBO biopic directed by Robert Benton on the famous newspaper publisher Katharine Graham. It currently remains untitled. Sources say it may trace Graham's paper, The Washington Post, in its dogged reportage on the Watergate scandal which led to President Richard Nixon's resignation.[7] However, Didion is no longer working on that project.[8]
In 2011, Knopf published Blue Nights, a memoir about aging.[9] The book focuses on Didion's daughter, Quintana Roo Dunne, who died just before her previous memoir, The Year of Magical Thinking, was published. It addresses their relationship with “stunning frankness.” More generally, the book speaks to the anxieties Didion experienced about having and raising a child, and also about the aging process.
A photo of Didion shot by Juergen Teller was used as part of the luxury French brand Céline's Spring/Summer 2015 campaign.

Published in 1987. As Didion follows Miami's drift into a Third World capital, she also locates its position in the secret history of the Cold War, from the Bay of Pigs to the Reagan doctrine and from the Kennedy assassination to the Watergate break-in. Miami is not just a portrait of a city, but a masterly study of immigration and exile, passion, hypocrisy, and political violence.
Point #1: Although it reads like a novel populated with stock characters, Miami is a non-fictional piece of literature. At the time of its publication, it was classed under Current Events. Impressively, Didion moved to Miami in order to get a firsthand account of the changing Miami.
Point #2: If you happen to live in a city with a generous Spanish-speaking population, happen to speak Spanish yourself, or have spent a significant amount of time in Miami-Dade county (week-long vacations do not count), then the narrator's pronunciation of certain words will annoy you because of how obvious the mispronunciations are. The good thing is that her voice is clear and you don't have audible breathing like when listening to audiobook recordings by old men.
Point #3: In listening to (or reading) this book, you will see that Didion has a definite style of speech. You may be like me and not care for her nonrhythmic, repetitive delivery; however, I recommend you keep reading, because upon reflection you will learn that there are reasons for the emphases.
Point #4: As a piece of literature, I like (not love or underwhelmed by) the book. While the portrayal of Miami is one I am unaccustomed to (perhaps due to my age or my home being north of Miami's city limits), I still recommend the book. I alternated between reading and listening to Miami because I didn't want driving to interrupt the compelling narrative. As a result, I will look into Didion's other books.

Play It As It Lays- Intro
Intro to Frank Perry's 1972 film adaptation of Joan Didion's "Play It As It Lays", starring Tuesday Weld and Anthony Perkins. Screenplay by Didion and her husband John Gregory Dunne. Weld won the Best Actress award at the Venice Film Festival for her performance. The film has never been released on VHS, DVD or Blu-Ray. -
Frank Perry, Play It as It Lays - Excerpts
One of the masterpieces of the American cinema. Caveat: These clips from this extremely rare film are of poor visual and audio quality. Starring Tuesday Weld, Anthony Perkins, Adam Roarke. Screenplay by Joan Didion, from her novel. Directed by Frank Perry. -

Play It As It Lays (1972) - Some Maria & B.Z. Scenes
Clips from "Play It As It Lays" 1972, Tuesday Weld, Anthony Perkins, et al. based on Joan Didion's novel. Theirs isn't what you'd call a love story. Still, Maria and B.Z. seem to have more in common with each other than with the humaniform vacancies around them; Neither seem "totally committed" (as they used to say in the 70's) to the world they happen to be living in, the lives they're leading. They care for each other; perhaps recognizing that they're both sinners living in glass houses, they avoid casting stones, cut each other plenty of emotional slack... They remind me of two other Didion characters; Inez Victor and Jack Lovett in "Democracy". Posted for all those "out there, where nothing is". -

Clips from "Play It As It Lays" 1972, Tuesday Weld, Anthony Perkins, et al. based on Joan Didion's novel.
Theirs isn't what you'd call a love story. Still, Maria and B.Z. seem to have more in common with each other than with the humaniform vacancies around them; Neither seem "totally committed" (as they used to say in the 70's) to the world they happen to be living in, the lives they're leading. They care for each other; perhaps recognizing that they're both sinners living in glass houses, they avoid casting stones, cut each other plenty of emotional slack...
They remind me of two other Didion characters; Inez Victor and Jack Lovett in "Democracy".
Posted for all those "out there, where nothing is".

Joan Didion Quotes About Life | The willingness to accept responsibility...
The willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life is the source from which self-respect springs. I have always wanted a swimming pool and never had one. Life changes in the instant. The ordinary instant. Nothing I read about grief seemed to exactly express the craziness of it; which was the interesting aspect of it to me - how really tenuous our sanity is. Memories are what you no longer want to remember. The apparent ease of California life is an illusion, and those who believe the illusion real live here in only the most temporary way. -
Joan Didion Quotes of Wisdom - Grammar is a piano I play by...
Grammar is a piano I play by ear. All I know about grammar is its power. Life changes fast. Life changes in the instant. You sit down to dinner and life as you know it ends. To free us from the expectations of others, to give us back to ourselves - there lies the great, singular power of self-respect. I have always wanted a swimming pool and never had one. You aren't sure if you're making the right decision - about anything, ever. The apparent ease of California life is an illusion, and those who believe the illusion real live here in only the most temporary way. -
The Non-Existent Story #5 - Hannah & Joan Didion
Two tales of murder, legal drama, affairs, betrayal, suicide and corruption--all against the desolate background of the American West. One of these stories is true, and the other very well could be. Hannah tells us about Joan Didion's "Some dreamers of the Golden Dream" and a 1978 miscarriage of justice in the courts of the Mormon Church: "The four-year affair between Henry Mitchell and Matthias Slate is a predictable one, perhaps, to the non-orthodox mind. The falsified motel registrations, the lunch dates, the late church meetings that never seemed to reach the church bulletin. It is speculation to question how long Joan Slate new about it, and Henry Mitchell never said because the prosecution never got the chance to ask...." -

The willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life is the source from which self-respect springs.
I have always wanted a swimming pool and never had one.
Life changes in the instant. The ordinary instant.
Nothing I read about grief seemed to exactly express the craziness of it; which was the interesting aspect of it to me - how really tenuous our sanity is.
Memories are what you no longer want to remember.
The apparent ease of California life is an illusion, and those who believe the illusion real live here in only the most temporary way.
