Synopsis "Lo Que Quiero Decir / Let Me Tell You What I Mean (in Spanish)"

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.

Joan Didion (1934-2021) was a prominent American writer and journalist, known for her incisive style and exploration of culture, politics, and personal memory. She wrote both essays and novels, establishing herself as a key figure in New Journalism. Among her most recognized works are The Year of Magical Thinking (2005), an autobiographical account of mourning, and Blue Nights (2011), both belonging to the non-fiction genre.

She also excelled in fiction literature with novels like Play It as It Lays (1970) and Run River (1963). Her work has influenced generations of writers and journalists, and her ability to capture the complexity of American society made her one of the most influential voices of the 20th century.

Joan Didion ha sido una revelación para mí y este libro de escritos cortos es un buen complemento para libros de ella, que he leído previamente, como, Noches azules y el Año del pensamiento mágico. Muy recomendable.
