Joan Didion (Jan. 26)
Continued from Page 7
Hey look, a new book of never-before-collected essays and reported
pieces by one of our most famous living writers! Didion’s writings about
the likes of Robert Mapplethorpe and Martha Stewart are another way
to get a sense of how we ended up with the America that we did.

Th e title is true of everyone except for me. I am completely fulfi lled
by my work. So if you’re one of those people wondering about why

“Unfi nished Business: Notes of a Chronic Re-reader”
Vivian Gornick (Feb. 4)
Interest in Gornick was rekindled last year when Verso released a new
edition of her 1977 “Th e Romance of American Communism,” an
ethnographic study of American Communists (mostly Jews). Now, the
longtime “Village Voice” writer and author of “Fierce Attachments” is
back with a collection of what are more or less odes to the writers that
have made her who she is.
