The White Album by Joan Didion

The White Album by Joan Didion

We tell ourselves stories in order to live. The title essay opens with that line and then dismantles it, moving between the Manson murders, a Doors recording session, Huey Newton in a hospital corridor, and Didion's own psychiatric report, reproduced in full.

The collection covers water management in California, the Hoover Dam, shopping malls, Georgia O'Keeffe, the women's movement, and driving the freeways. Her method is to report the details and refuse the explanation, and the effect is a portrait of a decade in which the connecting logic had come loose.

One of the great essay collections in American literature, and Didion at her most formally daring.
