"Joan Didion: life after death," via The Guardian
Didion on the unexamined fact:
“You’re at its mercy. I’ve always had this sense that the unexamined fact is like a rattlesnake. It’s going to come after you. And you can keep it at bay by always keeping it in your eye line.”
This piece is beautiful, drawing the eye to differences between “The Year of Magical Thinking” and “Blue Nights.” It highlights the comparison in a very intelligent way. What is it to write after death? What is it?
