After her quote about Christmas in Sacramento, I wanted to enjoy Joan so much. I discovered a scold instead. Her viewpoint is contempt, and its tiring (slouching). Sometimes its boring (a year of magical thinking). I found a guilty pleasure in her writing about Nancy Reagan, because I also despise Nancy Reagan.
The last time I tried to enjoy her was an essay criticizing the first carpool lanes in California.
I hope her work is lost to voices who see possibilities
