our body with distress and depression? Joan Didion’s masterfully composed essay‚ Los Angeles Notebook‚ conveys her view on the Santa Ana winds. Didion argues that a gentle touch of the wind will rapidly have one fall into a coma of distress and despair. Entering the season of Santa Ana winds‚ local residents brace themselves.
