{"value"=>"<p>Series I covers Joan Didion's entire career as a professional writer, from her first essays in 1955 through editions of her work published in 2022. The series is arranged into five subseries encompassing Didion's Publishing; Journalism; Research; Events, Lectures and Teaching; and Awards and Accolades.</p> <p>Didion and John Dunne worked very closely together throughout their careers, and Dunne's notes are often present in drafts of Didion's writing. Didion's published works and journalism also overlap, as reportage was frequently republished in books of essays or as a detail in a novel. Didion's interests can be observed through her subject files where topics reflect common themes in her writing.</p> <p>Didion frequently participated in events to promote her work, including lectures and teaching. Various speeches and scripts from readings given at libraries, universities, and other intellectual spaces are present, as well as many of the medals, statuettes, and certificates awarded to Didion throughout her career. Some personal materials are present, especially preparations for her later memoirs about the sudden deaths of Dunne in 2003 and Quintana Roo Dunne in 2005.</p>"}
