The Last Thing He Wanted
Joan Didion
1996

Safety is to be found only in swimming
pools and air-conditioned rooms.

"Some real things have happened lately.
For a while we felt rich and then we didn't. For
a while we thought time was money, find the time
and the money comes with it."


A decade old, but right on the money when it
comes to crime, politics and identity.

It might be compared to The Tailor of Panama.
Better though
