Harris. “Too much mourning for our heroes and our visionaries. And I know Miss Joan Didion wasnt black but ask almost ANY black lit girl and they’ll tell u she felt it.”
“Joan never felt the need to ‘protect’ her intellect by appearing dreadfully serious at all times bc she knew that her talent was undeniable and those who doubted it would doubt no matter what she did,” he added. Deepest gratitude to Joan Didion for how she helped me during a brutal, dark time. And that’s not even her best book!

“Shortly afterward I read [Didion’s 2005 memoir] The Year of Magical Thinking & was thrilled, electrified that someone else had gone through 2 nightmares at once & written about it,” Delaney“Deepest gratitude to Joan Didion for how she helped me during a brutal, dark time.
