Author: Joan Didion
Joan Didion’s “Let Me Tell You What I Mean,” which was published in 2021, stands as her final fresh contribution before her death.
The book gathers 12 essays written between 1968 and the early 2000s. Some were originally published in magazines, while others appear in the book for the first time.
Just as relevant today as the times in which she wrote them, this collection is slim but packs a punch. It demonstrates exactly why Didion’s approach to the no-nonsense yet engaging journalism and literary non-fiction genre continues to shape writers.
Didion, one of the most well-known writers in American history, was a pioneer who changed journalism.
