Let Me Tell You What I Mean Free Audiobook Download by Joan Didion

"I told the stories I knew, but I had never been sure about their meaning. They were always fragmentary, in leafy plots of things." "So what kind of meaning do you think you have now?" "This is the sound of another world."

This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the American psyche and how it has changed over the past few decades.

Joan Didion is a powerhouse of a writer and the author of many influential books like the novel, "The White Album". I was just introduced to her work on this audiobook, which is narrated by Kimberly Farr and Hilton Als. It's a fascinating story about what it means to be in love with someone who has the potential to be considered unattainable.

In "Let Me Tell You What I Mean," Joan Didion holds onto the writing of journalism and the act of reporting, which are what she considers authentic and valuable. She looks back on her past as a writer and how that influenced her writing career and creative process.

This short story was a bit of a departure from Didion's usual topics, but it is one that feels like something that could have been written by her. It begins with the narrator being in a car accident, and then follows the aftermath of that event in her life.

Let Me Tell You What I Mean is a collection of very short stories written by Joan Didion. The stories are narrated by two different people, one from Didion's past and one from her present. Didion tells us that they are viewpoints on how people in society react to tragedy, how they react to the fear that "the world might be ending", and how their perception changes as time progresses.
