Summary:
"An intimate exploration of the life, craft, and legacy of one of the most revered and influential writers, an artist who continues to inspire fans and creatives to cultivate practices of deep attention, rigorous interrogation and beautiful style.
Joan
Didion
was a writer's writer; not only a groundbreaking journalist, essayist, novelist and screenwriter, but a keen observer who honed her sights on life's telling details. Her insights continue to influence creatives and admirers, encouraging them to become close observers of the
world
, unsentimental critics, and meticulous stylists. An antidote to a global view that narrows our vision to the smallest screens, The
World
According
To
Joan
Didion
is a meditation on the people, places, and objects that propelled
Didion
's prose and an invitation to journalists, storytellers, and life adventurers to 'throw themselves into the convulsions of the
world
,' as she once said. Evelyn McDonnell, the acclaimed journalist, essayist, critic, feminist, native Californian, and university professor who regularly teaches
Didion
's work, is attuned to interpret
Didion
's vision for readers today. Inspired by
Didion
's own words -- from her works both published and unpublished -- and informed by the people who knew
Didion
and those whose lives she shaped, The
World
According
to
Joan
Didion
is an illustrated journey through her life, tracing the path she carved from Sacramento, Portuguese Bend, Los Angeles, and Malibu to Manhattan, Miami, and Hawaii. McDonnell reveals the
world
as it was seen through
Didion
's eyes and explores her work in chapters keyed to the singular physical motifs of her writing: Snake. Typewriter. Hotel. Notebook. Girl. Etc. One of the first books to be published after the revered writer's death in 2021, The
World
According
to
Joan
Didion
is a literary companion for those embarking on new journeys and a guide to innovative ways of being. It will radically transform the way you explore the
world
, and will help you answer the question as you sit in a café, or on a plane or train, pondering the future: What would
Joan
Didion
have seen? The
World
According
to
Joan
Didion
includes 19 black-and-white ill. and photos throughout."--Publisher.
