Join us for a special tour of Joan Didion: What She Means, led by Evelyn McDonnell, author of the recently released book "The World According to Joan Didion." McDonnell, the acclaimed journalist, essayist, critic, feminist, native Californian, and university professor who regularly teaches Didion's work, is attuned to interpret Didion's vision for readers today.

Inspired by Didion's own words—from her works both published and unpublished—and informed by the people who knew Didion and those whose lives she shaped, "The World According to Joan Didion" is an illustrated journey through her life, tracing the path she carved from Sacramento, Portuguese Bend, Los Angeles, and Malibu to Manhattan, Miami, and Hawaii. Didion fans can look forward to a tour of the show through the author's attuned lens. Copies of "The World According to Joan Didion" are available for purchase in PAMM Shop.
