Slouching Towards Bethlehem

Slouching Towards Bethlehem

by Joan Didion

  • LITERATURE
  • 2008
  • PAPER
  • 238 PAGES

A classic collection of essays on the 60s cultural climate, first published in 1968. In the acclaimed 50-page title essay, Didion -- a native of Northern California and a longtime New Yorker reporter -- vividly describes the landscape, mood and culture of 60s San Francisco, especially the city's then-counter-cultural crossroads, Haight-Ashbury. It's compelling literature.  (SFO11, $15.00)
