Didion would write her first novel during her time at "Vogue" in 1963, Run, River, which Didion worked on together with her future husband John Gregory Dunne. It would be Play It As It Lays, Didion's second novel which released in 1970, that would solidify her as a master of both fiction and non-fiction writing after her work Slouching Towards Bethlehem gained her great notoriety. Play It As It Lays was highly praised by critics, though the public had mixed reception many disliking the protagonist. Despite initially mixed reception, Play It As It Lays has remained an American classic, earning an inclusion on Time's "100 Best English-Language Novels from 1923 to 2005" and a 1972 movie adaptation who's screenplay was co-written by Didion and her husband.

As the daughter of American diplomats, she spent much of her childhood in Latin America, living in countries such as Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, and Ecuador. In 1975, DeWitt enrolled at Smith College, though she dropped out twice before ultimately attending Oxford University. There, she pursued a degree in Classics and earned a PhD. DeWitt's debut novel, The Last Samurai, was published in 2000 to widespread critical acclaim. Prior to this breakthrough, she spent seven years working on various writing projects, producing nearly 100 unfinished manuscripts. The inspiration for The Last Samurai came, in part, from an argument with her father and her complex feelings about family. Additionally, the character of Ludo was partly modeled on John Stuart Mill’s unconventional upbringing.

From Arthur's first unsheathing of Excalibur in the midst of fierce battle beneath overcast skies, to his tragic clash with his traitorous son on the dark fields of Camlann, Rackham confronts readers with combat, conflict and death. Despite (or perhaps even because of) this grim realism within a fantastic context, "Rackham's work became balm for wounded soldiers, as one mother wrote: ' ...When [my son] was getting better from very bad wounds... your illustrations of Books were his great joy and delight' (Hamilton, 112).
