Read the works discussed in the Netflix documentary Joan Didion: The Center Will Not Hold.

Includes seven books in one volume: the full texts of Slouching Towards Bethlehem; The White Album; Salvador; Miami; After Henry; Political Fictions; and Where I Was From.

Joan Didion's incomparable and distinctive essays and journalism are admired for their acute, incisive observations and their spare, elegant style. Now the seven books of nonfiction that appeared between 1968 and 2003 have been brought together into one thrilling collection.

Slouching Towards Bethlehem captures the counterculture of the sixties, its mood and lifestyle, as symbolized by California, Joan Baez, Haight-Ashbury. The White Album covers the revolutionary politics and the "contemporary wasteland" of the late sixties and early seventies, in pieces on the Manson family, the Black Panthers, and Hollywood. Salvador is a riveting look at the social and political landscape of civil war. Miami exposes the secret role this largely Latin city played in the Cold War, from the Bay of Pigs through Watergate. In After Henry Didion reports on the Reagans, Patty Hearst, and the Central Park jogger case. The eight essays in Political Fictions-on censorship in the media, Gingrich, Clinton, Starr, and "compassionate conservatism," among others-show us how we got to the political scene of today. And in Where I Was From Didion shows that California was never the land of the golden dream.

Lightweight tinted SPF that looks beautiful on mature skin
I’ve tried a lot of tinted sunscreens, and this one is honestly one of the nicest I’ve used for everyday wear. The Eucerin Tinted Age Defense SPF 50 feels lightweight, blends easily, and gives the skin a healthy natural glow without looking heavy or greasy. The texture is smooth and hydrating, and I was pleasantly surprised by how well the tint adapted to my skin tone. It helped even out my complexion while still looking very natural. On mature skin, that is important because many tinted SPFs can settle into fine lines or look dry after a few hours. This one stayed comfortable and looked fresh throughout the day. I also liked that it layered well over skincare and under makeup without pilling. The finish is more radiant than matte, which gives the skin a healthier and less tired appearance. The addition of hyaluronic acid is a nice bonus because the product feels more moisturizing than many sunscreens I’ve tested. The packaging is practical, easy to use, and perfect for daily use or travel. SPF 50 protection combined with skincare benefits makes this a great all in one daytime product. The tint may not work perfectly for every skin tone since it is designed as a universal shade, but on my skin it blended much better than expected. If you’re hesitating between Eucerin and CeraVe, this one is better for mature skin, a more elegant finish, and higher sun protection since this version offers SPF 50 while many tinted CeraVe options only go up to SPF 30. If you specifically want higher daily protection with a natural radiant finish, this one is definitely the better choice for me.

Eucerin sunscreen spf 50
The best sunscreen I’ve ever had. No white cast, no clogging pores. Goes on smooth and silky. No flaking off. Absolutely love it. I’m a dark skinned black woman for reference

Eucerin for the Win...Again!
I love this tinted sunscreen. It's so lightweight and blends in really well. Since it blends in, it is good for all shades of skin. It doesn't have a strong smell like a lot of other sunscreens have, so that is a huge bonus. So far I'm really loving it. I am definitely a Eucerin girly. I love all things Eucerin at this point.

A hydrating sunscreen but won’t provide the coverage
I’ve been using CeraVe sunscreen, so that’s my baseline. It’s thicker, slightly pigmented, and very hydrating.. Switching to Eucerin felt like moving from a cozy blanket to a light sheet. It’s definitely thinner and less pigmented, so at first it didn’t give me that same immediate glow or coverage I was used to. That said, on its own, it’s still a good sunscreen. It spreads easily, feels comfortable, and does the job without heaviness. After using it for a while, I’ve kind of settled into a rhythm: • If I want a bit of coverage and that hydrated, supple finish → I reach for CeraVe • If I just need straightforward sun protection → Eucerin works perfectly fine One small downside is the packaging. The pump is convenient, but toward the end, I can already tell there’ll be product left that’s hard to get out since you can’t really squeeze or open it easily. Overall, I’d say Eucerin is a solid, lightweight sunscreen. Just don’t expect that tinted, slightly “makeup-like” effect if you’re coming from something like CeraVe. It’s more of a quiet, reliable everyday option than a multitasking one.
