The White Album
Published by Aubrey Hicks on
Featuring Raphael Bostic, Sherry Bebitch Jeffe, Martin Krieger, and David Sloane
In this edition of the Bedrosian Book Club Podcast, we discuss Joan Didon’s book of essays about history and politics, The White Album. Published in 1979, these essays reflect a time of change here in California and America as a whole. If as she writes in the opening line, “We tell ourselves stories in order to live.” Do we still live by these stories she told? Or is the world a different place now?
