We're popping in with a mini-episode to bid a fond farewell to Joan Didion, a magical thinker who depressed the hell out of us and lived an amazing life. Didion was, in a lot of ways, an inheritor of ol' Ginny Woolf's legacy, and we're paying homage by talking about the books we (sorta) read, the essays we're planning on revisiting, and why you should check her out even if high brow literature isn't your thing.  And as long as we have your attention, check out "The Center Will Not Hold," the Netflix documentary about Didion.
