{"product_id":"9780008451783","title":"Let Me Tell You What I Mean","description":"\u003cp\u003eTwelve early pieces never before collected that offer an illuminating glimpse into the mind and process of Joan Didion.                       Mostly drawn from the earliest part of her astonishing five-decade career, the wide-ranging pieces in this collection include Didion writing about a Gamblers Anonymous meeting, a visit to San Simeon, and a reunion of WWII veterans in Las Vegas, and about topics ranging from Nancy Reagan to Robert Mapplethorpe to Martha Stewart.             Here are subjects Didion has long written about - the press, politics, California robber baronsac, women, the act of writing, and her own self-doubt. Each piece is classic Didion: incisive and, in new light, stunningly prescient.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rye Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45457657004253,"sku":"9780008451783","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1368\/0730\/files\/9780008451783.jpg?v=1719933488","url":"https:\/\/ryebooks.co.uk\/products\/9780008451783","provider":"Rye Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
