NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • From one of our most iconic and influential writers: a timeless collection of mostly early pieces that reveal what would become Joan Didion's subjects, including the press, politics, California robber barons, women, and her own self-doubt. A Most Anticipated Book of 2021 from Vogue, TIME, Bustle, The New York Times and many more. These twelve pieces from 1968 to 2000, never before gathered together, offer an illuminating glimpse into the mind and process of a legendary figure. They showcase Joan Didion's incisive reporting, her empathetic gaze, and her role as "an articulate witness to the most stubborn and intractable truths of our time" (The New York Times Book Review). Here, Didion touches on topics ranging from newspapers ("the problem is not so much whether one trusts the news as to whether one finds it"), to the fantasy of San Simeon, to not getting into Stanford. In "Why I Write," Didion ponders the act of writing: "I write entirely to find out what I'm thinking, what I'm looking at, what I see and what it means." From her admiration for Hemingway's sentences to her acknowledgment that Martha Stewart's story is one "that has historically encouraged women in this country, even as it has threatened men," these essays are acutely and brilliantly observed. Each piece is classic Didion: incisive, bemused, and stunningly prescient.

At this time of writing, The Audiobook Let Me Tell You What I Mean has garnered 8 customer reviews with rating of 5 out of 5 stars. Not a bad score at all as if you round it off, it’s actually a perfect TEN already. From the looks of that rating, we can say the Audiobook is Good TO READ!

Audio Book Let Me Tell You What I Mean with FREE EASY Reading!

This is a group of previously uncollected essays from the great Joan Didion, the author of Slouching Toward Bethlehem, The White Album and The Year of Magical Thinking. Didion always seemed to me to be the writer Vogue should send to cover the Apocalypse. Clear, cool and with an eye for the telling detail. Often times books of this nature, published late in an author's career, are a last grasp to cash in on the author's reputation, but this a revealing collection of essays and will be especially enjoyable if you are familiar with Didion's work. (If you are not, I doubt you would want to start here and I would suggest any of the three books mentioned above as better starting points.) Arranged chronologically, the dozen or so essays were originally published in magazines from 1968 to 2000 and show Didion's development as a writer and thinker. They feature underground newspapers, college rejection letters, Nancy Reagan, the set designer Tony Richardson, Martha Stewart and the last days of Ernest Hemingway, a writer to whom Didion is often compared. A very early piece on not being chosen by Stanford, her first choice for college, features her effort to rework the language of the letter into something less final, perhaps her first foray into magical thinking. The piece of Nancy Reagan written when she was the First Lady of California, offers a preview of where the Republican party is headed and Last Words examines the writer's block endured by Ernest Hemingway at the end of his career. The Martha Stewart piece argues that her image problems as a tough boss would be considerably mitigated if she were a man. Highly recommended to Didion fans. And reading Joan Didion is highly recommended to anyone not already familiar with her.
