Episode description

Some writers become emblematic not just of a particular type of writing, but of a whole era and culture. Joan Didion - who passed away on Dec 23, 2021 - was one such writer. While best known for her journalism and non-fiction writing, Didion also wrote numerous novels, screenplays, and plays. But more than that, her writing provided an incisive look at American culture and politics over several decades starting in the 1960s. We look back at and pay tribute to her life and work.
