We Tell Ourselves Stories in Order to Live by Joan Didion.
This volume brings together seven books of Joan Didion's nonfiction published between 1968 and 2003. Essays and reporting trace a sustained attention to American culture, politics and the stories through which people make sense of events.
Read across the collections to see how an observer's concerns recur and change. It asks what a distinctive style enables a writer to recognize, and what readers learn by staying with that perspective over time.
