Update: Joan Didion's NYRB piece on Dick Cheney is now available online (free!)

And here's where to go to read "Cheney: The Fatal Touch," which we talked about here yesterday.

By the way, we should have found an opportunity in the earlier piece to mention the name of the book in which Didion recounted and grappled with the events of the cataclysmic year in which she lost her family (seen below in happier times): her husband, the writer John Gregory Dunne, and their daughter, Quintana. The title is The Year of Magical Thinking, and if you haven't read it, this is one case where you truly don't know what you're missing.
