The White Album (book)
''The White Album'' is a 1979 book of essays by Joan Didion. Like her previous book ''Slouching Towards Bethlehem'', ''The White Album'' is a collection of works previously published in magazines such as ''Life'' and ''Esquire''. The subjects of the essays range widely and represent a mixture of memoir, criticism, and journalism, focusing on the history and politics of California in the late 1960s and early 70s. With the publication of ''The White Album'', Didion had established herself as a prominent writer on Californian culture. As one contemporary reviewer stated, "California belongs to Joan Didion."〔Kakutani, Michik. ("Joan Didion: Staking Out California." ) ''The New York Times''. Accessed November 7, 2014.〕
The title of the book comes from its first essay, "The White Album," which was chosen as one of the 10 most important essays since 1950 by ''Publishers Weekly''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Top 10 Essays Since 1950 )〕 The opening sentence of this essay—"We tell ourselves stories in order to live"—would become one of Didion's best-known〔"'We tell ourselves stories in order to live,' Didion famously wrote in ''The White Album''." Schine, Cathleen. ("Elegy to the Void." ) ''The New York Review of Books''. Accessed November 7, 2014. 〕 sayings, and was used as the title of a 2006 collection of Didion's nonfiction.

''The White Album'' is organized into five sections. The first section contains only the title essay, while the other four sections are identified by a major topic or theme, such as "California Republic" or "Women."
