Universally acclaimed when it was first published in 1968, Slouching Towards Bethlehem has become a modern classic. More than any other book of its time, this collection captures the mood of 1960s America, especially the center of its counterculture, California. These essays, keynoted by an extraordinary report on San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury, all reflect that, in one way or another, things are falling apart, "the center cannot hold." An incisive look at contemporary American life, Slouching Towards Bethlehem has been admired for several decades as a stylistic masterpiece.

评分篇幅長但句子短,可以很快看完。
评分60年代加州反文化潮。最好的三篇:西進的中産情欲纏繞,瓊·貝茨和反暴力學校,年輕、昏熱、放棄語言的嬉皮士寫真。加州熱風割麵,氛圍寫得蠻好。
评分Didion's style is a sense that something has already been lost.
