Losing the Story: Joan Didion on Social Disorder and Reinventing Yourself

  • The Morningside Institute 91 Claremont Avenue Floor 11 New York, NY, 10027 United States (map)

One of America’s greatest journalists, Joan Didion became famous as a chronicler of the 1960s and its effect on American society. Join Nathaniel Peters (Morningside) as we discuss the social confusion of that decade and the consequences for others of reinventing yourself. We will read Didion’s essays “The White Album,” “James Pike, American,” and “On the Morning after the Sixties.”

This seminar is the second meeting of our Fall 2024 series, Losing the Story.

Please RSVP as lunch will be served.
