Is Ms Didion a writer ya been influenced by rif?
yes, turk!! she was an especially good essayist, a better essayist than a novelist, i find. i especially like her essays 'on keeping a notebook', 'at the dam', and 'in bed'. but it's just the whole image of joan didion that for me stands as the hallmark of the notion of 'female writer'. i mean, as an aspiring female writer you dont want to be dumpy frumpy anne rice with her gothic bloodsucking fantasies only 12 year old girls and dave could possibly be interested in, you want to be cool, chic, razor sharp joan didion.

Rumours on Social Media that Janice Long has died.

Hope this isn’t true. A long-time friend and supporter of Morrissey and Kirsty MacColl.

Just starting to see some messages on my social media feeds, although some are saying it's a hoax.
