‘Play It As It Lays’ author died of Parkinson’s disease, her publisher has confirmedwww.independent.co.uk
Oh my god!!!
yes, turk!! she was an especially good essayist, a better essayist than a novelist, i find. i especially like her essays 'on keeping a notebook', 'at the dam', and 'in bed'. but it's just the whole image of joan didion that for me stands as the hallmark of the notion of 'female writer'. i mean, as an aspiring female writer you dont want to be dumpy frumpy anne rice with her gothic bloodsucking fantasies only 12 year old girls and dave could possibly be interested in, you want to be cool, chic, razor sharp joan didion.Is Ms Didion a writer ya been influenced by rif?
