Very good.
I have read just about everything from Joan Didion. This book was very good, but if you are a Didion fan, and or a Dunne fan, read her book year of magical thinking. It's the story of her husband's and daughter's tragic end and how she copes. Brilliant.

Everthing from the Patty Hearst case to uprisings in San Salvador to the Central Park Jogger case and political and international affairs through 2002 are covered in this spendid collection of essays. Didion's writing is some of the best I've seen (in essay form that is). She drives further and harder to the point of her message--supplementing it with quotes from a very extensive bibliography.This is a case where, the longer the piece, the better, though all were very, very well written and formulated. I found her deptiction of Nancy Reagan in the "Fisher King" piece hilarious and her history of Central Park's construction/development very intriguing in "Sentimental Journeys." This is truly a wonderful reader.
