Just finished Didon's essay The White Album and came away scratching my head at why it is so highly acclaimed. The only reason I can see is that she randomly intersected (due to reporting assignments etc.) with many of the media names/darlings of the late 60's in Los Angeles...Eldridge Cleaver, Linda Kasabian, The Doors... It was all somewhat disconnected scene-wise -- perhaps that is what "makes it" -- it is a perhaps a good reflection of the times...
I do plan on reading more of her work and have ordered one of her collections.
