If I'm gonna listen to a rich person complain about a dead or suffering loved one, I'd rather listen to Joan Didion. I listened to a little bit of The Maidens before getting tired of the flat language and British accent of the narrator.

Plus! Notes to John is narrated to Julianne Moore!

Book makes me wonder about wealth and the luxury of therapy, and how people can go their whole lives without seeing a psychologist and be "normal." Didion seems so well adjusted and lucid to me, yet her sessions suggest repression, trauma, etc. Maybe those are all part of a normal pscyhe? Or everybody's just fucked up.

Eh, who knows, I don't. *Shrugs.

Interesting to see how an artist can process their emotional baggage through art yet still have to engage in therapy to unpack it. If Didion struggled to figure things out with all her wisdom, what chance do the rest of us have, lol

gina Eat the rich except joan didion


Leland Cacayan Exactly! The prose so good, insight so rich, Didion's making me think, damn, maybe wealthy people have it tough too.
