IRB Intro Post #1

For my first IRB this school year, I’m choosing to read Joan Didion’s essays in Slouching Towards Bethlehem. I had read her title essay in The White Album over the summer, which interested me in looking at some of her other works. This collection focuses on America in the sixties, especially California, the center of its counterculture. I hope to gain insight of the unique time and place she writes about while looking at the great prose that has made it a modern classic.
