Because I was a member of the Book of the Month Club, I have the first edition of The White Album. I remember reading it, liking it, but I don’t remember anything from the book. I didn’t know anything about who she was or how she figured into popular culture. I’ve read more about you than I ever knew about her. I followed that web site you contributed to back in the ‘90s. I was annoyed by your snark, and I sort of think that was the point.

Joan never told us what comprised “prescriptions.” Not until the equally nosy Julia Phillips investigated the Dunne medicine chest in her memoir did I find out.
