Joan Didion: The NPR interviews

Joan Didion arrives at the opening night of The Year Of Magical Thinking, a play based on her memoir by the same name, at the Booth Theatre on March 29, 2007, in New York City.

NPR’s talks with Didion date back to 1977, where the author described what she meant when she wrote “writers are always selling somebody out” in the introduction of Slouching Towards Bethlehem.
