UD’s Quick Take… on a profile of Joan Didion “While many of her journalistic peers got carried away in the 60s, Didion wrote with a cool head in accordance with the principle that the lower the temperature of her prose, the higher the emotional voltage it could carry.” Excellent! “Her self-possession is such that the mere act of breathing in her presence feels like a vulgar transgression.” A bit de trop. |
