Didion’s Afterlives

Steffie Nelson, Stacie Stukin, Jori Finkel and I read from our essays about Joan Didion at the Santa Monica Library — Stukin is with me above.

Also, around this time, The Atlantic where a reporter visited some of the locations that I had discovered were connected with Didion, in my primary reporting on the Didion family’s holdings.

Said other reporter may have been encouraged, perhaps by someone in a fact-checking position, to cite my work directly—which she did.
