Slouching Towards Biloxi: Joan Didion on Life in America's South

... At the Ramada Inn in Tuscaloosa I sat outside by the swimming pool about five o’clock one afternoon ...

It looks like the illustration at the top is supposed to depict this part of the story, but I wonder why an artist illustrating an event in 1970 would include a 1986 Dodge Ramcharger[1]?

Anyway, I'd like to thank y'all here at Hacker News for posting this link. The paragraph on cooking is one of the most awesome bits of Bad Hemingway I've read in the past year.

More like "woman who barely knows a region and visited it for a paltry amount tries to inject herself back into the cultural conversation decades later via via her re-heated leftovers from 1970."

Didion has always been a world-class narcissist and clearly she will be until the end.
