The white album -- California Republic -- Women -- Sojourns -- On the morning after the sixties.

First published in 1979, The White Album records indelibly the upheavals and aftermaths of the 1960s. These essays are a collection of magazine pieces from Life, Esquire, The Saturday Evening Post, The New York Times, and The New York Review of Books. Examining key events, figures, and trends of the era -- including Charles Manson, the Black Panthers, and the shopping mal -- through the lens of her own spiritual confusion, Joan Didion helped to define mass culture as we now understand it. Written with a commanding sureness of tone and linguistic precision, The White Album is a central text of American reportage and a classic of American autobiography. Joan Didion is an American author of novels and her literary journalism. She is the author of The Year of Magical Thinking, a memoir of her response to the death of her husband and severe illness of her daughter.
