My first Joan Didion! A man at the library asked me if I had ever read her before and I said no, to which he then replied, “I have her name tattooed on my arm”
I’m not sure I’m quite at his level yet but I completely understand the sentiment. Her prose is so warm even though the book is about grief? I can see now why it’s titled as it is. More to come!

Cried last night to the passage about him reading her own writing to her and saying, “don’t ever tell me you can’t write again, that is my gift to you” and dying 25 days later……!!!!!!!!!
