Universally acclaimed when it was first published in 1968, Slouching Towards Bethlehem has become a modern classic. More than any other book of its time, this collection captures the mood of 1960s America, especially the center of its counterculture, California. These essays, keynoted by an extraordinary report on San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury, all reflect that, in one way or another, things are falling apart, "the center cannot hold." An incisive look at contemporary American life, Slouching Towards Bethlehem has been admired for several decades as a stylistic masterpiece.

60年代加州反文化潮。最好的三篇：西進的中産情欲纏繞，瓊·貝茨和反暴力學校，年輕、昏熱、放棄語言的嬉皮士寫真。加州熱風割麵，氛圍寫得蠻好。
评分The book that helped propel Didion and California cultures in 60s to mainstream. Her choice of words are so captivating, beautiful and sensual
评分very informative & addictive style! 招人煩又有點迷人的一點是：結尾總要巧 但一巧又在攪渾水 把簡單攪復雜 深刻化直白 不宜感官為主邏輯不清者如我 有故弄玄虛之嫌 （和平學校那篇太絕瞭）
评分超愛弑夫、拉斯維加斯婚禮、荒廢好萊塢這三篇！
评分Didion's style is a sense that something has already been lost.
