This is a collection of essays by the great Joan Didion. I say "great" having only read this book, with the full knowledge that she wrote a lot of other stuff. But this book was great, and the rest of her work, if "The White Album" is any indication, must also be great. She delves into a number of topics surrounding her life and the parts of it in the Golden State of California (also a little in Hawaii). The essays, though sometimes disjointed by time periods and far from forming a continuous narrative, do serve as something of an autobiography taken as a whole. She travels from her days as a young writer hanging out with the Doors through parts of her marriage that most writers would dread even thinking about (what gets us is not the tempest, but the doldrums) to the convoluted traffic and water systems of L.A. to the weird definition of normalcy carved out of the former Governor Ronald Reagan's estate. If I could write like Joan Didion, I wouldn't be writing on goodreads.com. Or I would, but under the surname "Joan Didion." But I can't. If you want to get through some tough times, you can read this book to fill your mind with absence and loss. In a good way. It's like the dharma of clinical depression: observational, slightly detached, elegant, and placid. One of the characters in Richard Linklater's film "Waking Life" put it pretty well, "Yes, emptiness. But such a fullness of emptiness."
