I’m sorry to hear you are going through a difficult time, Kate. Sending you lots of very best wishes. And thank you for sharing one of your always excellent essays.
Kate, I am sorry to hear this wasn't a great week for you. However, Iam glad you pulled this out of the archives. Didion has been on my radar for awhile and this essay got me very intrigued. So well researched and written, your admiration of her is obvious!
Didion and Dunne's relationship seems so beautiful in her memoirs. I loved the quote you shared: "‘I did not always think he was right nor did he always think I was right but we were each the person the other trusted.’" For someone like Didion, I think the concept of trusting another person was such an incredibly vulnerable and rare gift. Thank you for resurfacing this piece from your archives, and I hope you're feeling better soon <3
Hello Kate. Hope you feel better soon. My wishes with you. Thank you so much for this writing. I've started watching the Netflix documentary as well and I'm loving it.
Another top post. I remember reading this a while back and thinking how well researched and written it was then. I really like how you have given an almost informal timeline to this incredible writer. Thank you.
Kate, I am reading this book right now!! It's been on my bedside table for months, so I am reading bits of it at a time. I'm thinking of you and hope you are getting through this difficult period.
My local public library has it in their collection. I haven't read any Didion yet but I want to start there because I like the publisher's other books.
I’m sorry to hear you are going through a difficult time, Kate. Sending you lots of very best wishes. And thank you for sharing one of your always excellent essays.

Thank you, Haley! Yes, I loved that quote too. I thought it really captured what a good partnership should be. Thank you for reading 😀
Love this newsletter! I still need to read Joan Didion's work. She's such an iconic voice in essay writing. Thank you for re-sharing this one x
Thank you! I think you would love her essays and style of writing, especially as a writer yourself 💕

Oh, that's great Veenita! I found it so fascinating. Thank you for your kind comments 😀
Loved this when it first came out and a good reminder to read some Didion this winter.
Take care, Kate 💙

Oh, I think you are in for a real treat! I hope you enjoy discovering her work :)
Everyman's Library has also issued an omnibus of Didion's nonfiction titled "We Tell Ourselves Stories In Order To Live".
Thanks David, I didn't know that! :)
