2/3 sections done ! california republic is cool ! politically pretty hard to pin down an easy ideology ! which i think is why i’m liking it so much- it’s easy to pick and choose which bits u agree with ! but i’m a sucker for a collection of stories / experiences. next stop feminism ! and so far it’s pretty thought provoking ! but nuance must be used (brain power what !?)

just finished the first section of this book. and each story contains a small memory or remark from the 60s. I want to believe this is a reflection of the decade as a whole but i fear i can only go on vibes rather than actual facts - it aligns with the vibes tho !! i feel like didions reflections are a way of processing her own mental illness in this period, or even just feeling her own sanity. all in all- i love !

thank you lila for the rec ! loving this so far but not for any intellectual reason - i like to see thing i recognise - like the doors !! and the black panther party ! and janis joplin ! and then keep reading. i read it this half delirious between my shifts at work and perhaps that could be the mysterious cause behind the lack of intellectual stimulation it gave me !
