Her <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brainpickings.org\/2015\/02\/11\/joan-didion-cookbook-recipes\/\" target=\"_blank\">borscht recipe<\/a> can be found on the website Brain Pickings, and her list of items to pack for reporting trips periodically <a href=\"http:\/\/girlcrushzine.tumblr.com\/post\/6837826080\/joan-didions-packing-list\">crops up<\/a> on style blogs \u2026 In 1989, she appeared in <a href=\"http:\/\/nymag.com\/thecut\/2015\/01\/heres-the-1989-gap-ad-starring-joan-didion.html\" target=\"_blank\">GAP ads<\/a> with her twenty-three-year-old daughter, wearing black turtlenecks, and staring defiantly into the camera with only the barest suggestion of a smile. Last year, she wore huge black shades in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vogue.com\/7683419\/joan-didion-celine-ad-campaign\/\" target=\"_blank\">ads for the French luxury goods brand C\u00e9line<\/a>, which inspired devotion in unexpected places and in-depth analysis from the already devoted.\u201d And yet this obsession seldom seems to extend to her political writing, which accounts for the bulk of her output\u2014they only want her to write about herself. And what of that self? \u201cTo be so glamorously sensitive and beautiful that you have to be taken care of,\u201d Pauline Kael once wrote, was the \u201cultimate princess fantasy.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>This is peak road-trip season. If you\u2019re not in a car right now, lighting out for the territories and exuding manifest destiny\u2014well, it\u2019s not too late. But don\u2019t be all Fleetwood Mac about it. You cannot, in fact, go your own way. You can instead <a href=\"http:\/\/www.atlasobscura.com\/articles\/the-obsessively-detailed-map-of-american-literatures-most-epic-road-trips\" target=\"_blank\">follow in the footsteps (tire tracks?) of writers past<\/a>: Kerouac, Twain, Fitzgerald, Steinbeck, Wolfe \u2026<\/li>\n<li>On second thought, stay home. <a href=\"http:\/\/bostonreview.net\/books-ideas\/jessa-crisipin-female-travel-writing\" target=\"_blank\">It\u2019s more or less impossible to be a good travel writer anyway<\/a>. You risk falling into two camps: the Elizabeth Gilbert, interior psychodrama, \u201cobnoxious white lady in brown places\u201d camp, or the Bruce Chatwin, indomitable male, \u201ccolonialist\u2019s baggage stuffed full with preconceived assumptions\u201d camp. If you\u2019re looking for role models, try Freya Stark and Dervla Murphy: \u201cStark was in the world with her writing, not above it, not in herself \u2026 Her writing restores humanity to people who have otherwise been stripped down to news reports, reduced to death tolls and photos of open-mouthed weeping. The secret to her success was listening to the people she visited and letting them tell the story. This shouldn\u2019t be any secret. It should be what every travel writer does.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>A man who speaks hardly a lick of French has triumphed in the Francophone Scrabble Championship having apparently <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/lifeandstyle\/2015\/jul\/21\/new-french-scrabble-champion-nigel-richards-doesnt-speak-french\" target=\"_blank\">memorized the entire French Scrabble Dictionary in just a few days<\/a>. Nigel Richards, \u201cthe Tiger Woods of Scrabble,\u201d regards words as \u201cjust combinations of letters,\u201d like numbers: \u201cHe has learned no language logic, just a succession of letter sequences giving rise to words. In his head it\u2019s binary: what draw (of letters) can make a scrabble, what draw can\u2019t.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>On James Purdy, who wanted to write <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/books\/page-turner\/the-strange-unsettling-fiction-of-james-purdy\" target=\"_blank\">stories that \u201cbristled with impossibilities\u201d<\/a>: \u201cIn his novels and short fiction, possibility and potential are always compromised. There is neither transcendence nor transformation. His characters do not grow or develop; they dwindle and unravel \u2026 It\u2019s hard to think of a contemporary writer whose work shares this sensibility, a cool elegance laid over extreme emotion. The most apt comparison may be Wes Anderson, whose films similarly feature casts of eccentrics, dialogue full of non sequiturs, deadpan humor, and unabashed farce.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Explaining the Internet\u2019s Joan Didion obsession is a tricky thing: \u201cIn the crossover of feminism, fashion, and literary interests, there is a whole swathe of the internet where Didion is a staple reference.
