Slouching Towards Bethlehem by Joan Didion

Slouching Towards Bethlehem by Joan Didion

Didion's first essay collection covers Haight-Ashbury during the Summer of Love, a murder case in San Bernardino, John Wayne, and the state of California itself, written in the cool, precise prose that made her one of the defining American essayists.

The title essay, on runaway teenagers in the hippie movement, remains one of the sharpest pieces of New Journalism ever written — sympathetic and unsentimental at once, watching a generation's idealism curdle into something closer to drift. Didion never raises her voice, which is exactly why the essays land as hard as they do.

A landmark essay collection and one of the essential texts of New Journalism.
