Slouching Toward Bethlehem by Joan Didion - A Short Summary & Review

A short summary of the book Slouching Toward Bethlehem:

Joan's thoughts, during the late '60s

My favorite Joan Didion quote from the book:

"The ability to think for one's self depends upon one's mastery of the language."

Questions to ponder Slouching Toward Bethlehem:

Do I have that type of self-respect?

Does language dictate your reality?

My review of Slouching Toward Bethlehem:

I agreed with so much.

There is clarity in precision.

I need to work on my vocabulary.
