About this book

Slouching Towards Bethlehem is Joan Didion's 1968 essay collection on California in the sixties. Didion was one of the great American prose writers and this book is where she announced herself. The title essay on the Haight Ashbury counterculture is famous. The personal essays at the end are just as good.

About the author

Joan Didion - BDeBooks
Joan Didion

Reported California in the late sixties without ever pretending to be a neutral instrument. Slouching Towards Bethlehem watched the counterculture up close and declined to be charmed by it, and The White Album opens by saying we tell ourselves stories in order to live, which is quoted constantly and almost always as though she meant it approvingly.
