ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

An anthology of the best articles and essays by journalist and writer Joan Didion.

"In the golden land, the future is always attractive, because no one remembers the past."

Joan Didion is one of the most important chroniclers of the second half of the 20th century. Edited by Claudio L pez de Lamadrid, Those Who Dream the Golden Dream brings together for the first time in Spanish a selection of articles and essays from her books.

Crawling to Bethlehem, a modern classic about life in America in the 1960s, especially in California, the center of counterculture; The White Album, a mosaic of the 1960s and 1970s that includes vaguely autobiographical episodes; After Henry, in which Joan Didion warns us about the fantasies that the media constructs around victims of violent crimes; Salvador, which paints a portrait of the horrors committed in that country and their close relationship with US foreign policy, and Miami, in which she reflects on immigration and exile, as well as political passion, hypocrisy, and violence.

Together, they form a critical and literary vision that is fundamental to understanding contemporary American society.
