After Henry - Joan Didion

Detalii:

In her latest forays into the American scene, the author of Miami, Democracy, and Salvador covers ground from Washington to Los Angeles and from a TV producers mansion to the racial battlefields of New Yorks criminal courts. And along the way, she reveals the mythic narratives that other commentators miss. n nNATIONAL BESTSELLER - Didions reportorial pieces afford the pleasures of literature.... She is an expert geographer of the landscape of American public culture (The New York Times Book Review). n nHere, the National Book Award-winning author of The Year of Magical Thinking covers ground from Washington to Los Angeles, from a TV producers gargantuan manor to the racial battlefields of New Yorks criminal courts. n nAt each stop she uncovers the mythic narratives that elude other observers: Didion tells us about the fantasies the media construct around crime victims and presidential candidates; she gives us new interpretations of the stories of Nancy Reagan and Patty Hearst; she charts Americas rollercoaster ride through evanescent booms and hard times that wont go away. n nA bracing amalgam of skepticism and sympathy, After Henry is further proof of Joan Didions infallible radar for the true spirit of our age.n
