I’ve heard of ‘Slouching toward Bethlehem’ but never had a chance to read it. RIP.

I’ve heard of ‘Slouching toward Bethlehem’ but never had a chance to read it.

You should; it's a collection of brilliant essays, and one of the best depictions of California in the 1960s.

RIP.

Sad that neither her husband nor her daughter survived her.

I’ve also never read anything of hers, and would be interested to know from folk who have what is worth exploring.

'Slouching Towards Bethlehem' and 'The White Album' are two great collections of essays with a conservative take on the craziness of California in the 60's.

After that she made a bunch of money with her husband writing Hollywood screenplays and became a typical leftist. She lost a daughter to a crazed killer boyfriend. Maybe that got to her somehow.
