LET ME TELL YOU WHAT I MEAN

 Joan Didion. LET ME TELL YOU WHAT I MEAN. Random House, 2021. 

Reprints of previously-published articles from the 60s and 70s. Made me realize how completely I have cut off US culture. Martha Stewart. Tony Richardson, Brit. William Randolph Hearst. Robert Mapplethorpe. Vietnam. Nancy Reagan. I did enjoy the piece about Ernest Hemingway.
