Joan Didion

Some writers define a generation, others a genre; Joan Didion achieved both. These interviews, some published in publications like The New York Times Book Review and others on radio programs like Fresh Air, span nearly half a century. In them, Didion discusses her experiences as a journalist, essayist, and novelist. Not only does she use literary journalism to discern the disorder of our times, but she also observes the most sensitive aspects of the human heart amidst the trauma of the deaths of her husband and daughter. Her candor and sincerity inspire courage.
★ "The Last Interviews" (Volume 2) follows the interviews with 6 literary giants in the first volume. Listen to 6 extraordinary women from various fields such as law, film, sociology, and literature: Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Marilyn Monroe, Jane Jacobs, Toni Morrison, Joan Didion, and Ursula K. Le Guin. They broke through social conventions, created their own world in their respective fields, and influenced the world today.
The 20th century saw profound changes in the world, including the role of women in society. The six extraordinary women featured in this series have profoundly impacted their respective fields, defying societal expectations of gender roles. Their lives have inspired generations.
Joan Didion is a perceptive observer who uses her own wounds and those of the world to reveal the chaotic world of our times.
