Joan Didion, the eminent journalist, author and anthropologist of contemporary American politics and culture – a singularly clear, precise voice across a multitude of subjects for more than 60 years – has died at her home in Manhattan, New York. She was 87.
The cause of death was from complications to Parkinson’s disease, according to Paul Bogaards, an executive at Didion’s publisher Knopf.
Known for her pioneering blend of the personal and the political in her journalism and essays, Didion became a household name with her writing on US society.
