Itty Bitty Book Review

"Democracy" by Joan Didion I think "fragmented narrative" pretty much sums it up. I just couldn't really get into it. "Joan Didion's novel "Democracy" delves into the intricate search for identity faced by Inez Christian during the tumultuous 1960s and 1970s in America. This journey reaches its conclusion in 1975, just after the final withdrawal of American troops from Vietnam and Cambodia. Through a fragmented narrative, Didion, as the story's narrator, pieces together the life of Inez, endeavoring to provide meaning to her experiences."
