书籍简介

琼-迪迪安的一部非虚构作品《懒洋洋地走向伯利恒》被认为是美国写作的一个分水岭。这部作品于1968年出版，被评论界称赞为 "这个国家写得极好的散文之一"。

这部由我们这个时代独特的散文家之一撰写的作品集，也许比任何其他书都更能捕捉到琼-迪迪安关注的独特时间和地点，探讨的主题包括约翰-韦恩和霍华德-休斯，在加利福尼亚的成长和死亡谷汽车旅馆房间里善与恶的本质，尤其是旧金山海特-阿什伯利的精华，反叛文化的中心。正如乔伊斯-卡罗尔-欧茨所言： "[迪迪安]一直是我们这个时代顽固又棘手的真理的有力见证者，一个令人难忘的声音，部分是讴歌，部分是绝望；总是在控制之中"。

Celebrated, iconic, and indispensable, Joan Didion’s first work of nonfiction, Slouching Towards Bethlehem, is considered a watershed moment in American writing. First published in 1968, the collection was critically praised as one of the “best prose written in this country.”

More than perhaps any other book, this collection by one of the most distinctive prose stylists of our era captures the unique time and place of Joan Didion’s focus, exploring subjects such as John Wayne and Howard Hughes, growing up in California and the nature of good and evil in a Death Valley motel room, and, especially, the essence of San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury, the heart of the counterculture. As Joyce Carol Oates remarked: “[Didion] has been an articulate witness to the most stubborn and intractable truths of our time, a memorable voice, partly eulogistic, partly despairing; always in control.”
