California Girls

My favorite piece of Google Reader from this AM.

Didion comes off as a woman too self-possessed to be charmed, which is, funnily enough, what’s so charming about her: to read her is to have the privilege of hearing what that quiet girl in the corner is thinking, the scene sharply observed, sharply described.

Also, I’d like the above illustration printed and framed. Puhlease & thanks.
