underwater

This one’s for Jody, who at Ask Roulette last night admitted he was crushed when a friend told him you had to be a woman to really understand Didion’s writing and he was like, “well, damn.”

kelsfjord:

JOAN DIDION: So I abandoned the idea of being an oceanographer, but I can see myself still as an oceanographer, if I could get to that point.

BLVR: Does it seem like a happier life?

JD: A happier life? I don’t know. I’ve liked being a writer.

BLVR: It’s a different way of going underwater.

JD: It’s a way of going underwater, yes. Well, I’ve always been interested in how deep it was, you know.
