One of my friends was talking to me about Joan Didion’s books, and the way in which she spoke of them inspired me to want to read one! However she then told me that I shouldn’t bother because I need an in-depth knowledge of American history and certain historical events to “get it”. (I do not have an expansive knowledge of American history). Has anyone else found this is the case? I feel I see so many people talking passionately about Didion and it piques my interest, but maybe I need to educate myself more first.
