"She's so opaque. I felt like I've been trying to understand her for years, but I've been standing outside a locked door."
"Didion and Babitz is one of four books featuring Didion written since her death in 2021, with at least two more scheduled in the years to come."
"It's not only Didion herself that these books grapple with, but the fascination she inspired and the enduring patina of cool she held onto for nearly 50 years."
"These writers bring their own gaze and interpretation of Didion, a figure whose distinctive blend of opacity and confession seems to invite dissection, speculation and projection perhaps more than any other contemporary writer."
