The ultimate Didion: all 17 of her major works of fiction, journalism, and memoir together for the first time in a 3-volume boxed set

A must for fans of the most eclectic and enduring writers of the last half century

In 1968, a collection of reportage appeared that was unlike anything seen before, remarkable in its literary aspiration and a milestone in what would become known as the New Journalism. A series of wickedly incisive portraits of California and its people--from fading stars to homicidal housewives to drug-addled hippies--Slouching Towards Bethlehem was a sensation, signaling the arrival of a major writer. It attracted not only readers but devotees, and Joan Didion became more than just a celebrated author, she became an icon for the age. Now, for the first time, all her best-known and most enduring works are gathered together in a career-spanning 3-volume Library of America boxed set.

THE JOAN DIDION COLLECTION includes:

I. The 1960s & 70s
Run River
Slouching Towards Bethlehem
Play It As It Lays
A Book of Common Prayer
The White Album

II. The 1980s & 90s
Salvador
Democracy
Miami
After Henry
The Last Thing He Wanted

III. Memoirs & Later Writings
Political Fictions
Fixed Ideas
Where I Was From
The Year of Magical Thinking (memoir and play)
Blue Nights
South and West

Edited by David L. Ulin, each volume contains a textual essay, a chronology of Didion's life and career, and detailed notes.
