Salvador

Praise

“No one has interpreted the place better…. Salvador shines with enlightening observation, and its language is lean and precise, in short what we have come to expect from Ms. Didion.” —The New York Times Book Review

“[Didion has] the instincts of an exceptional reporter and the focus of a historian [as well as] a novelist’s appreciation for the surreal. . . . Her clarity of style illuminates the vast darkness that engulfs El Salvador.” —Los Angeles Times Book Review

“Everything [Didion] writes grows out of close observation of the social landscape of El Salvador. And it is quite impossible to deny the artistic brilliance of her reportage. She brings the country to life so that it ends up invading our flesh.” —The New York Times
