However, her use of subjectivity through her prose and her use of “first personism” raises both stylistic significance in her accounts on memory, loss, and ageing, but also controversial assumptions in her views toward class and society. So, the question must be asked, on what authority does she have as a journalist from an objective and subjective standpoint? It is not the subjectivity within itself that is the problem, for we have seen in studying other material in this course that subjectivity does not negate the legitimacy of a piece of writing. However, because she is considered part of the New Journalism Movement, the tone of her essays in Slouching Towards Bethlehem is overtly subjective more so than objective. If this were merely a memoir, I think the work would of had a different impact on readers. What makes her work such a debatable issue is the authority that is given to her under the umbrella of journalistic nonfiction. Joan Didion raises much controversy over her views of class, society, memory, and the progression of ageing and growing up. ![]() |
