where i was from
first edition, 2003.
from the la times:
"valediction and elegy alike, 'where i was from' is a storm-tossed book. its history is dense, its associations nonlinear, its prose sharp, direct and chiseled, and its focus -- 'historical nihilism,' as she wrote in a publicity sheet -- maddeningly yet intriguingly elusive. the book is, didion writes, 'an exploration into my own confusions about the place and the way in which i grew up, confusions as much about america as about california, misapprehensions and misunderstandings so much a part of who i became that i can still to this day confront them only obliquely.'"
