115 - Slouching Towards Bethlehem by Joan Didion

Published: March 1, 2023, 8 a.m.

In Episode 115, Gen and Jette talk about Jette's most recent book club pick \u2014 Slouching Towards Bethlehem by Joan Didion. How have we gone 115 episodes before doing a Didion episode? I know, right. While Jette can't remember where the idea for this book as her pick even came from, she's glad she picked it. This collection of essays from the 1960s, mostly focusing on California, makes it clear why Didion is a classic.
