First Edition of Where I Was From; Signed by Joan Didion
First edition of this unforgettable memoir by the award-winning writer. Octavo, original boards. Boldly signed by Joan Didion. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Carol Devine Carson.
Where I Was From by Joan Didion is a work of memoir, history, and literary criticism that explores her native California, examining the state's mythology of rugged individualism against its reality of reliance on big government, railroads, and water projects. Blending personal history with reportage, Didion investigates the "slippage" between California's self-perception and its actual history, tracing her own family's westward migration to understand the state's complex identity and her own connection to it.
