"The Uptown Local: Joy, Death, and Joan Didion: A Memoir" by Cory Leadbeater is a stirring debut that recounts the author's time working for Joan Didion in the final years of her life. Leadbeater, who endured abuse in his childhood, found solace in reading and writing and eventually became Didion's assistant. The memoir explores their bond and the challenges Leadbeater faced, including his father's arrest, the death of a friend, and thoughts of suicide. The book is praised for its beautifully written recollection and its adherence to Didion's advice of accurate self-reflection. [Extracted from the article] |
