this is my first didion. adjusting to the writing style. i can only describe it as a slow meander around a familiar neighborhood, taking side streets, and pausing often to look at the rhododendrons in the gardens. i look up, suddenly realizing we have arrived at the destination, without time ever passing at all.

didion demands much of me. i need to take breaks often to digest and let her words fall onto me. i feel depressed but hopeful. her words are sepia.
what i’m trying to say is that i have to take breaks to read my NAZI GERMANY BOOK BECAUSE THAT BOOK IS LIGHTER AND LESS DRAINING
