Camille Dodero interviews a
flu-stricken Joan Didion in a Boston hotel
room and mines the author's
opus for the structural framework of
the writer's life. She's struck by the
dissonance between Didion's literary
stature and her "miniature" real person.
"Barely five feet tall, she doesn’t even fill a
chair ... she looks like she could slip
between the seat cushions at any
moment," Dodero writes. And the
legendary writer giggles, girlishly.
