Let Me Tell You What I Mean: A New Collection of Essays by Joan Didion

Miniseries

Eight essays selected from the 'Let Me Tell You What I Mean' essay collection that offer a glimpse into the mind and process of the iconic and influential writer Joan Didion. Mostly drawn from the earliest part of her five-decade career, the wide-ranging pieces in our selection include Didion writing about a Gamblers Anonymous meeting, a visit to San Simeon, and a reunion of WWII veterans in Las Vegas, and about topics ranging from Nancy Reagan to Robert Mapplethorpe. Here are subjects Didion has long written about - the press, politics, California, women, the act of writing, and her own self-doubt. Joan Didion began her career in the 1950s after she won an essay contest sponsored by Vogue magazine. She came to prominence with a series of feature articles in Life magazine and The Saturday Evening Post that explored postwar America followed by celebrated novels 'Play It as It Lays' and 'A Book of Common Prayer'.
