Praise for Let Me Tell You What I Mean: 'The peripheral, the specific, the tangible - or, as the writer Hilton Als notes in his foreword, the Didion gaze , the penetrating prose of a reporter who writes with a scalpel - is by far the most compelling theme in Didion's latest collection of essays' Vogue Praise for Joan Didion: 'She writes with a razor' New York Times 'A pioneer of New Journalism, she brilliantly chronicled America's cultural and political life' Guardian 'Everything Didion writes has a land's end edginess to it- a hyper-attentive-eye on the dramas of the human condition. She writes as someone who has come through great shudders of the earth with a fundamental understanding that everything is subject to instantaneous and complete revision' Village Voice 'She is the best chronicler California has' Vogue
