Joan Didion: The Last Interview: AND OTHER CONVERSATIONS

The iconic writer whose prose was as influential and as it is  unmistakably hers is joined in conversation with Sheila Heti, Hilton Als, Dave Eggers, Hari Kunzru and many more.

Some writers came to define a generation. Some a genre. Joan Didion did both, and much more. Didion rose to prominence with her nonfiction collection, Slouching Towards Bethlehem, and she quickly became the writer who defined the washed-out, acid hangover of the 60s. But the bicoastal writer of fiction and nonfiction, whose writing ranged from profoundly personal essays that culminated later in life in raw, intimate  memoirs was equally a writer focused on international affairs, political intrigue, and social justice. This collection encompasses it all, in conversations that delve into her underappreciated mid-career works, her influences, the loss of her husband and daughter, and her most infamous essays. Far from the evasive image of a terse minimalist that has come to dominate the Joan Didion of the cultural imagination, what this collection reveals is a warm, thoughtful woman whose well earned legacy promises to live on for many more readers and writers.
