Slouching Towards Bethlehem (Paperback)

The essays in Joan Didion`s first--and groundbreaking--collection are mostly about the phenomena of the 1960`s: the hippie world of Haight-Ashbury (the title essay), the politics of the peace movement, a Las Vegas wedding. Now considered a classic, SLOUCHING TOWARD BETHLEHEM introduced Didion`s trademark style--cool, cerebral, darkly witty--and marked her out as an important commentator on the American political, cultural, and literary landscape.
