Revered author and essayist Joan Didion has died at age 87.
Tiny and frail even as a young woman, with large, sad eyes, she was a novelist, journalist, playwright and essayist.
She was known for her cool and ruthless dissection of culture and politics, from hippies to presidential campaigns to the kidnapping of Patty Hearst. Her essay collection “The White Album” have become standard reading and “Slouching Towards Bethlehem,” and “Play It As It Lays” became essential collections of literary journalism.Copyright AP - Associated Press
