Joan Didion on the Aftermath of Sept. 11
Joan Didion has been our favorite author since she wrote Play It As It Lays. Since then, we've read everything she's written, before and after. Her newest article Fixed Opinions, or The Hinge of History, taken from a speech she gave in November, 2002, appears in the Jan. 16 issue of the New York Review of Books. It has to do with September 11 and its aftermath, and with the politicizing of the tragedy.
While we will always be partial to Maria and Inez (from Play it as it Lays and Democracy, respectively), we think everything she writes is outstanding, so go over and give her a read.

Update: Avedon Carol at Sideshow posts a great section of Ms. Dideon's article here.
