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.

Отзывы
Книга понравилась, но лично я ожидала немного другого исхода в середине и конце истории. Рекомендую для тех, кому нравится проза об Америке 60-80х годов, атмосфера просто невероятная. Я после прочтения Дейзи Джонс очень хотела и долго искала похожий сеттинг и атмосферу. Здесь не про рок-музыку и не такой подход, как у Дейзи, но слог был очень простым, особенно для уровня В1-В2. Сама обложка мягкая, но удобная и не мнется. Небольшого размера книга, удобно было брать с собой в дорогу.
