"Where I Was From"...I wish I knew!

Joan Didion I now know you are from California but, the discussion club decided your book was from hunger.
What a disappointment! Your latest book, "The Year of Magical Thinking" was exquisite. A book I would readily suggest others to read. I should have waited for the book to get some "age" and chose that one for the club.
This book was chosen because I thought Ms. Didion could do no wrong. Well, I was wrong. This book, most of it articles from The New Yorker magazine, was put together haphazardly. The "chapters" were strung together with no thought of clarity or continuity. Did the publishers not see this? What about her editor? Was Ms. Didion forced to do this or did she think this book was a good read?
Oh my...the morning club will read this soon and I will have to bear it.
