    Like other people who loved Joan Didion's writing, I felt like I knew her and looked forward to any possibility of actually meeting her. At the same time I fully accepted that she was likely a private person and I fully respected that. Her strength throughout her personal tragedies is an inspiration.

    We are slouching ever closer to Bethlehem. The center cannot hold the way things are going. In Slouching Toward Bethlehem, the seminal work about the sixties, Didion spoke of putting "one word after the other" as she struggled to complete the book. Things did not come easy and she suffered writer's neurosis and from time to time,, a nervous condition. She suffered, she persevered and above all she excelled- her prose was exceptional. She said, whenever you're writing about something, you're always putting someone out.✍ Her ironic wit and singularly unique voice will be missed.

    Her book "The Year of Magical Thinking" was a great comfort to me at a time when I needed it. Wish I'd thought of thanking her somehow, but I guess hindsight is 20/20.

    Losing the knowledge and experience that a living human offers always hurts. Losing one who knew how to write well about their knowledge and experience hurts more, despite them having left a map for us.
