Let Me Tell You What I Mean.
New York: Knopf, 2021. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Near Fine unclipped dust jacket with light sunning near the spine of the front panel else fine. These twelve pieces from 1968 to 2000, never before gathered together, offer an illuminating glimpse into the mind and process of a legendary figure. Didion touches on topics ranging from newspapers (“the problem is not so much whether one trusts the news as to whether one finds it”), to the fantasy of San Simeon, to not getting into Stanford. In “Why I Write,” Didion ponders the act of writing: “I write entirely to find out what I’m thinking, what I’m looking at, what I see and what it means.”. Item #29622
