NEW YORK — Joan Didion's precision with words extended even to ones she would never live to hear, such as those used during a small, private service this spring at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine.
Didion, a master of rhythm and of the meaning of the unsaid, was remembered Wednesday as an inspiring and fearless writer and valued, exacting and sometimes eccentric friend, the kind who didn't like to speak on the phone unless asked to or who might serve chocolate soufflés at a child's birthday party because she didn't know how to bake a cake.
— Los Angeles Times September 21, 2022 Retired Supreme Court Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, here in his capacity as a generational peer and a fellow Sacramento native, remembered Didion as a close friend of his older sister Nancy's and a frequent dinner guest. She was a gifted and"pensive" girl, cerebral beyond her years, who would"think and write and think and write, all over again.
Vanessa Redgrave, her white hair tied in back and otherwise covered by a dark fedora, read from Didion's celebrated memoir about grief,"The Year of Magical Thinking," which Redgrave years ago had performed on stage as Didion sat in the wings for every show.
