23. Why I Write
    joan didion. Excerpts from Why I write. From The New York Times Magazine, December 5, 1976. Copyright 1976 by joan didion and The New York Times Company.  
    http://www.idiom.com/~rick/html/why_i_write.htm
    
    Extractions: Excerpts from Why I write From The New York Times Magazine , December 5, 1976. Of course I stole the title from this talk, from George Orwell. One reason I stole it was that I like the sound of the words: Why I Write . There you have three short unambiguous words that share a sound, and the sound they share is this: I I I In many ways writing is the act of saying I , of imposing oneself upon other people, of saying listen to me, see it my way, change your mind. Its an aggressive, even a hostile act. You can disguise its aggressiveness all you want with veils of subordinate clauses and qualifiers and tentative subjunctives, with ellipses and evasionswith the whole manner of intimating rather than claiming, of alluding rather than statingbut theres no getting around the fact that setting words on paper is the tactic of a secret bully, an invasion, an imposition of the writers sensibility on the readers most private space. I stole the title not only because the words sounded right but because they seemed to sum up, in a no-nonsense way, all I have to tell you. Like many writers I have only this one "subject," this one "area": the act of writing. I can bring you no reports from any other front. I may have other interests: I am "interested," for example, in marine biology, but I don’t flatter myself that you would come out to hear me talk about it. I am not a scholar. I am not in the least an intellectual, which is not to say that when I hear the word "intellectual" I reach for my gun, but only to say that I do not think in abstracts. During the years when I was an undergraduate at Berkeley, I tried, with a kind of hopeless late-adolescent energy, to buy some temporary visa into the world of ideas, to forge for myself a mind that could deal with abstract.

As a child, Didion followed her father, an officer in the Army Air Corps and a World War II veteran, to military bases in Colorado and Michigan. The family ultimately settled in California, where Didion graduated from the University of California at Berkeley in 1956. After college, Didion moved to New York for a job as a promotional copywriter at

At 70, she is the author of five novels and seven works of nonfiction, all of which are distinguished by enormous intellectual force, an impatience with sentimentality and a general intolerance for bunk. Didion is one of the great clear thinkers and dry-eyed observers of her generation. When people talk about somebody being a tough customer, Didion is the kind of person they're talking about.

He had died of a massive heart attack. They had been married a month shy of 40 years. Just five days earlier, their daughter Quintana Roo Dunne Michael had been admitted to the hospital with pneumonia and septic shock; at the time of her father's death, she was in a coma. Those eventsher husband's death and her daughter's illnessare the subject of Didion's memoir The Year of Magical Thinking (Knopf; 227 pages). And as it turned out, nobody, not even Joan Didion, could have been ready for them.

    Extractions: By RACHEL DONADIO Published: October 9, 2005 "No, it wasn't a year of realism," Joan Didion said not long ago. "It wasn't a year when realism saw you through." Didion was talking about her latest book, "The Year of Magical Thinking," a multilayered work of nonfiction that grew out of her desire to impose some order on the unruly agonies in her life: the sudden death by heart attack of her husband, the writer John Gregory Dunne, and the serious illness of her daughter, Quintana Roo Dunne Michael, who died in late August at the age of 39, after a medical odyssey that began more than a year ago, when a winter flu mysteriously morphed into total septic shock. Skip to next paragraph Enlarge This Image André Carrilho Review: 'The Year of Magical Thinking' Featured Author: Joan Didion Less than two weeks after Quintana's death, Didion was perched on a chair by the fireplace in the living room of her bright, airy Upper East Side apartment, the room where her husband died on Dec. 30, 2003, five days after Quintana first went into the hospital. Clear glass hurricane lamps lined one north-facing window. Seashells were scattered on the coffee table and mantle. Paintings of horizons hung on the walls. Didion, who is 70, wore a sleeveless white knit top and sky blue hospital scrubs as pants, a habit she adopted during the months spent looking after her daughter. Tiny and painfully thin, Didion looked as frail as the white orchids that stretched their tender, tenuous necks from a cluster of pots in her entrance hall. On the day of our conversation, floodwaters still engulfed New Orleans. Didion said she had been watching the coverage of Hurricane Katrina on television "until it got kind of candle-in-the-wind."

The Game From Mark Flanagan A little about Joan Didion: Somehow I've managed to reach my late 30's without realizing that Joan Didion set the bar for personal essay writing in the 1960s. Her name is synonymous with the act of writing nonfiction since that time, and though I considered myself well read and well-educated, this somehow escaped me. In the words of Joyce Carol Oates, "Joan Didion is one of the very few writers of our time who approaches her terrible subject with absolute seriousness, with fear and humility and awe. Her powerful irony is often sorrowful rather than clever. . . . She has been an articulate witness to the most stubborn and intractable truths of our time, a memorable voice, partly eulogistic, partly despairing; always in control."

I offer this excerpt here to encourage you to buy her books and read her work: On Morality By Joan Didion As it happens I am in Death Valley, in a room at the Enterprise Motel and Trailer Park, and it is July, and it is hot. In fact it is 119°. I cannot seem to make the air conditioner work, but there is a small refrigerator, and I can wrap ice cubes in a towel and hold them against the small of my back. With the help of the ice cubes I have been trying to think, because The American Scholar asked me to, in some abstract way about “morality,” a word I distrust more every day, but my mind veers inflexibly toward the particular. Here are some particulars. At midnight last night, on the road in from Las Vegas to Death Valley Junction, a car hit a shoulder and turned over. The driver, very young and apparently drunk, was killed instantly. His girlfriend was found alive but bleeding internally, deep in shock. I talked this afternoon to the nurse who had driven the girl to the nearest doctor, 185 miles across the floor of the Valley and three ranges of lethal mountain road. The nurse explained that her husband, a talc miner, had stayed on the highway with the boy’s body until the coroner could get over the mountains from Bishop, at dawn today. “You can’t just leave a body on the highway,” she said. “It’s immoral.”

In a nation which increasingly appears to prize social virtues, Howard Hughes remains not merely antisocial but grandly, brilliantly, surpassingly, asocial. He is the last private man, the dream we no longer admit.

    Extractions: You can get there by candlelight. In retrospect it seems to me that those days before I knew the names of all the bridges were happier than the ones that came later, but perhaps you will see that as we go along. Part of what I want to tell you is what it is like to be young in New York, how six months can become eight years with the deceptive ease of a film dissolve, for that is how those years appear to me now, in a long sequence of sentimental dissolves and old-fashioned trick shots—the Seagram Building fountains dissolve into snowflakes, I enter a revolving door at twenty and come out a good deal older, and on a different street. But most particularly I want to explain to you, and in the process perhaps to myself, why I no longer live in New York. It is often said that New York is a city for only the very rich and the very poor. It is less often said that New York is also, at least for those of us who came there from somewhere else, a city only for the very young. I remember once, one cold bright December evening in New York, suggesting a friend who complained of having been around too long that he come with me to a party where there would be, I assured him with the bright resourcefulness of twenty-three, “new faces.” He laughed literally until he choked, and I had to roll down the taxi window and hit him on the back. “New faces,” he said finally, “don’t tell me about
