A review by murrderdith
The White Album by Joan Didion

5.0

I "read" this on audio. About 2 hours into the collection, I bought the paperback and will re-read it in that format. That said, I loved listening to these essays. I found myself pausing and rewinding (do we call it that on iPhones?) to scribble down certain passages. This line, in particular, stuck with me:

“A place belongs forever to whoever claims it hardest, remembers it most obsessively, wrenches it from itself, shapes it, renders it, loves it so radically that he remakes it in his own image.”
