This novel is not like Didion's other works. It was her first and, in retrospect, she has dismissed it as sloppy and an artificial past upon which she constructed a narrative about a dying generation of California pioneers. But this book is haunting for its convincing characters, its implications about California, and its unique time sequence. Another interesting piece that no one has yet touched is that in many ways it's a modern retelling of Tennyson's "The Lady of Shallot." I recommend that anyone interested in reading Run River keeps a printed copy of Tennyson's poem nearby. The parallels are unyielding.
