c) Connotations N.B. For purposes of citation, page numbers of the printed version are inserted in square brackets. Joan Didion and "Company": A Response to John Whalen-Bridge GORDON O. TAYLOR Reference: Whalen-Bridge, John. "The Myth of the American Adam in Late Mailer." Connotations "TO BE CONTINUED" are the last words on the final page of Norman Mailer's long novel Harlot's Ghost . The ending is thus rendered problematic even beyond the author's characteristic ambiguities of outlook. But the phraseas noted in John Whalen-Bridge's fine essayresonates as well with questions regarding "Adamic" tradition as it plays into Mailer's later work, and as it persists (covertly or otherwise) in contemporary American writing more broadly surveyed. Professor Whalen-Bridge, in his introductory and concluding remarks to "The Myth of the American Adam in Late Mailer," stresses the issue of "American Exceptionalism" with a view to defending Mailer's recent work ( Harlot's Ghost in particular) against accusations of such heresy. Fair enough, to be sure, so far as it is true that authors in the "classic" American tradition have tended toward reflex refusal to recognize the political dimension of identity and experience as a primary force in American social and cultural dynamics. But in the main body of his discussion, while he persuasively maintains the continuity of his argument that Mailer "declares the futility of any search for 'a virgin land' or 'a world elsewhere' beyond political consequences" (to whatever extent "classic" American writers claim the reverse), Whalen-Bridge also considers

Joan Didion George P. Landow From Chapter Two, "The Symbolical Grotesque" Grotesque Symbols and Symbolical Grotesques: Carlyle The History of the Grotesque Ruskin's Definition of the Grotesque The Religious Origins of the Grotesque Discovered Grotesques Amphibious Popes, 7-Foot Hats Ruskin, Gold, and Death Lawrence's Landscape Emblems Invented Grotesques Carlyle, Midas, and Enchantment Ruskin's Goddess of Getting-on Ruskin's Narrative Grotesque Arnold's Barbarian, Philistine, and Populace ... Thoreau's Visionary Satire Twentieth-Century Grotesques Joan Didion Tom Wolfe's Put-Together Girl Germaine Greer's Put-Together Girl Note: indicates a link to material not in the original print version. Like Mailer , Didion chooses particularly grotesque phenomena as Signs of the Times. And like Carlyle, she reveals both the representative and grotesque qualities of a religious figure as part of her knife thrust at the heart of the age. In "James Pike, American" she presents a lapsed Episcopalian bishop as her predecessor presents the amphibious pope that is, as the embodiment of the grotesque spiritual ills of the age. She finds him, first of all, "a character so ambiguous and driven and revealing of his time and place that his gravestone in the Protestant Cemetery in Jaffa might well have read only JAMES PIKE, AMERICAN" ( White Album , 53). Pike Represents to Didion modern amorality, for this once-bishop of California was a man who, she emphasizes, felt himself bound to no oath and no responsibility. For example

Books Index Metro Metroactive Central Archives Fear of Meaning Quintana Roo Dunne Why Ask Why?: Joan Didion wraps her characters tight against the chill of history in "The Last Thing He Wanted." Raw-nerved and migrainous, novelist and journalist Joan Didion's characters drift through a world of disaster without purpose By Tai Moses A S IT HAPPENS, while reading Joan Didion 's newest novel, The Last Thing He Wanted , I came across a 5-year-old issue of that featured an article by Didion and her husband, John Gregory Dunne. After 24 years in Los Angeles, they had impulsively moved to New York. Critical in the decorating scheme of their Manhattan apartment was a treasured piece of furniture: an old partners' desk, whose oft-refinished surface lent it an aura of "history and ... attitude." It's an apt description of Joan Didion's oeuvre, which includes four previous novels and five works of nonfiction. Each book contains copious helpings of history and attitude: the history tending toward the cultural and personal; the attitude one of dread and despair. The famous Didion nerves, shattered by the '60s, traumatized by the '70s and benumbed by the '80s, have made their appearance in some of the most trenchant journalism written in the last three decades. At its best, her prose is like a closet parsed of all that is flashy, sequined or voluminous, leaving only a single, elegant black dress. Even a slight reading acquaintance with Didion leaves one in possession of the eccentric fact or two about the author: her fascination with Hoover Dam (it's the
