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.

Highly recommend.
I’ve been using Eucerin Sun Age Defense SPF 50 Face Sunscreen Lotion with Hyaluronic Acid daily for years, and it’s truly one of my holy grail products. It provides excellent sun protection while still feeling lightweight and comfortable on my skin—no heavy or greasy residue at all. I love that it contains hyaluronic acid because it keeps my skin feeling hydrated throughout the day, not dry like some sunscreens can. It absorbs quickly, layers beautifully under makeup, and never causes breakouts or irritation. After years of consistent use, I can honestly say it’s made a difference in keeping my skin looking healthy and protected. If you’re looking for a reliable, everyday facial sunscreen that also supports your skin, this is absolutely a 5-star product!

Such an amazing sunscreen!
This product gives such an amazing glow! There is no white cast, even on me a dark skin black girl. It soaks in on the skin, leaves no residue, and feels so lightweight. It’s so smoothing as well and makes your skin look so healthy. I love this sunscreen and will continue to buy if forever!

Great product. Sun protection and hydration
I just discovered this brand a year or two ago and have not been disappointed in their products. This item specifically I can feel my face a lot softer all throughout the day. I bought it for sunscreen so that was just an added bonus. I’ve finished one bottle now and started my second one. I recommend
