Una colección atemporal de algunos de los primeros artículos y crónicas de la icónica escritora y periodista norteamericana.

«Una excelente introducción a la aguda mirada de Didion sobre la vida estadounidense.» - Bethanne Patrick, The Washington Post

«Escribo estrictamente para averiguar qué estoy pensando, qué estoy mirando, qué veo y qué significa.»

Lo que quiero decir recopila doce artículos y crónicas inéditas en español de Didion bajo el eje vertebrador de lo que el Nuevo Periodismo llamó "el narrador testigo". Redactados en la primera parte de su carrera como periodista, estos concisos e incisivos textos muestran los intereses primarios que la convirtieron en escritora y abarcan un amplio espectro de sus temas habituales, desde el acto de escribir a la crónica social o política. Por sus páginas desfilan personajes como Orwell, Hemingway, Mapplethorpe, Nancy Reagan, anónimos de Ludópatas Anónimos o el propio director de admisiones de la Universidad de Standford, donde fue rechazada.

Didion es uno de los iconos culturales de Estados Unidos y una de las figuras clave del periodismo de las últimas cinco décadas, y en sus crónicas, como apunta el prólogo de Elvira Navarro, «refleja, como pocos autores, un mundo, el estadounidense, que, para bien y para mal, ha extendido sus tentáculos por todo el orbe, hasta el punto de que hoy resulta imposible comprender la cultura y los acontecimientos políticos y económicos más recientes de los países occidentales (España entre ellos) sin mirar a Estados Unidos. Leerla es también, por consiguiente, adentrarnos en lo que nos ha sucedido a todos en las últimas décadas».

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER - From one of our most iconic and influential writers, the award-winning author of The Year of Magical Thinking a timeless collection of mostly early pieces that reveal what would become Joan Didion's subjects, including the press, politics, California robber barons, women, and her own self-doubt.

These twelve pieces from 1968 to 2000, never before gathered together, offer an illuminating glimpse into the mind and process of a legendary figure. They showcase Joan Didion's incisive reporting, her empathetic gaze, and her role as "an articulate witness to the most stubborn and intractable truths of our time" (The New York Times Book Review).

Here, Didion touches on topics ranging from newspapers ("the problem is not so much whether one trusts the news as to whether one finds it"), to the fantasy of San Simeon, to not getting into Stanford. In "Why I Write," Didion ponders the act of writing: "I write entirely to find out what I'm thinking, what I'm looking at, what I see and what it means." From her admiration for Hemingway's sentences to her acknowledgment that Martha Stewart's story is one "that has historically encouraged women in this country, even as it has threatened men," these essays are acutely and brilliantly observed. Each piece is classic Didion: incisive, bemused, and stunningly prescient.

Pretty good wipes
These wipes are great and I love that each pack has it's own lid. These are medium thickness (not as thick as Huggies, but not as thin as some store brands) and do a good job cleaning my baby's behind. We typically need 1-2 wipes for #2's depending on how far up her back it travels lol. I got these at a great price and am very happy with them.

Sturdy and Effective
The inside of a diaper bag is not a gentle place, so anything I put in there needs to be sturdy enough to handle the bumping, shoving, and crushing. The pouches are not rigid, so they can fold, but are thick enough not to tear. The lid opens and closes smoothly and I have not had any of them wear out or stop staying closed before the wipes run out. The wipes have a pleasant scent and feel clean. The wipes are the right thickness for most jobs, but are not what I would call 'thick' wipes nor are they 'thin'. The oils and chemicals used are gentle enough for older babies while still getting them clean, but I would recommend something more gentle for newborns. The four pack was a great value (12 pouches total) and I would recommend it to any fellow parents of infants or toddlers.

Loyal to pampers
Size: 504 Count (Pack of 1)
We are big fans of pampers! I love being able to buy them on Amazon at a lower price. I love the ease of the individual packaging as well as the fact that there is not disgusting smell to these wipes. Even the 'non scented' wipes tend to have an odd smell with other brands. These are very soft and do not feel as if they would irritate babies bottoms.

Love these wipes! Great price!
Size: 504 Count (Pack of 1)
I love pampers for my son! We love the scent and ability to clean. I'm not sure why some customers gave these lower stars because they don't have individual dispensers. We use these to refill ours (I believe that's what they're for). If you read the description - this product never claimed to have them.

Really soft yet tears easily
Size: 504 Count (Pack of 1)
These wipes lasted awhile. They had a good scent to them and cleaned very well. The only thing that drove me crazy was when getting the wipes out of the package, they tore a lot. I would end up with pieces of a sheet and I ended up using more that necessary because of this. I would still buy these if they were on sale. I have 3 children as well as babysit for parents that don't bring me diapers and wipes. I coupon for diapers and wipes and normally quality is pretty consistent in comparison. These wipes are much softer than one particular brand yet the other brand has a thick, cloth-like wipe that rarely tears. I would still recommend them and I will still buy when the price is right.
