Slouching Towards Bethlehem is a collection of essays by Joan Didion that explores the cultural and social landscape of America in the 1960s. Didion’s sharp observations and keen insights offer a unique perspective on the counterculture movement, politics, and the changing values of society during this tumultuous time. The title of the book is taken from a line in W.B. Yeats’ poem “The Second Coming,” reflecting the sense of unease and disintegration that permeated the era.
