We may never know what state Joan Didion was born in, or what she did for a living, although researchers remain optimistic of someday learning more about these critical gaps in her personal history.
Didion and I were cellmates in Solano for a few months. Don’t know what she was serving for, something about “resuming the ancient ways”. Good people as long as you didn’t mess with her shawls. After a while she got sent up to Pelican Bay, got wrote up too many times for how she contemplated almonds. I will always cherish the deeply cutting words she whispered in my ear before they dragged her out.
I would be very happy to provide a light annotation if that would be useful, but I don't want to be tedious or overexplain anything! Would you like a quick rundown of the references? I am at your disposal!
Somewhere, Didion is watching this unfold from under an Hermès ashtray, sipping sugarless iced tea and whispering, “You’re still not getting the angle right.” The orange peel, the matchbox bed, the $25 Kasabian owes—it’s all canon now. I don’t want the real diaries. I want these. Trapezoidal thoracic segments and all.

"Linda Kasabian still owes me twenty-five dollars" is the kind of phrase for which language was made.
Omggg literally one of my all time favorite things are your Joan Didion/Anna Wintour YouTube videos! They are literally a comfort to me

Ahhh...The quantum physics of Joan Dideon's kitchen...a triumph of her deepness.
I honestly don’t know what to make of this, and I don’t think I’m in on a joke, but it’s great fun anyhow. In other words, help!
