Lo que quiero decir

What I want to say compiles twelve unpublished articles and chronicles in Spanish by Didion under the backbone of what New Journalism called "the witness narrator". Written in the first part of her career as a journalist, these concise and incisive texts show the primary interests that made her a writer and cover a wide spectrum of her usual themes, from the act of writing to the social or political chronicle. Characters such as Orwell, Hemingway, Mapplethorpe, Nancy Reagan, anonymous from Gamblers Anonymous or the admissions director of Stanford University, where she was rejected, parade through her pages.
