The White Album

Joan Didion’s hugely influential collection of essays which defines, for many, the America which rose from the ashes of the Sixties. We tell ourselves stories in order to live. The princess is caged in the consulate. The man with the candy will lead the children into the sea. In this now legendary journey into the hinterland of the American psyche, Didion searches for stories as the Sixties implode. She waits for Jim Morrison to show up, visits the Black Panthers in prison, parties with Janis Joplin and buys dresses with Charles Manson’s girls. She and her reader emerge, cauterized, from this devastating tour of that age of self discovery into the harsh light of the morning after.Author: Didion,author Contributors: Didion,author Binding: paperback Number Of Pages: 224 Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Polish Edition: 1 Published/Release Date: 16 Nov 2017 Format: Paperback / softback Publisher/Studio/Brand: HarperCollins Publishers Author/Director/Artist: Joan Didion Dimension (cm): 129x198x14 mm Package Dimension (cm): 17x196x130 mm Item Weight (g): 1050 Package Weight (g): 150
