Slouching Towards Bethlehem

Slouching Towards Bethlehem is a collection of essays by Joan Didion that describe her experiences during the 1960's while living in California. The book came about while Didion was working a regular column for The Saturday Evening Post, and a senior editor suggested she had the works to put together a collection. From the Haight-Ashbury hippie scene, John Wayne movie sets, meetings with the American Communist Party, and self-reflection all over the country, Didion's collection takes you on a crystal-clear journey through the 1960s in America and the mind of one of America's greatest authors.
