From one of America’s iconic writers, a stunning book of electric honesty and passion. Joan Didion explores an intensely personal yet universal experience: a portrait of a marriage–and a life, in good times and bad–that will speak to anyone who has ever loved a husband or wife or child.
Several days before Christmas 2003, John Gregory Dunne and Joan Didion saw their only daughter, Quintana, fall ill with what seemed at first flu, then pneumonia, then complete septic shock. She was put into an induced coma and placed on life support. Days later–the night before New Year’s Eve–the Dunnes were just sitting down to dinner after visiting the hospital when John Gregory Dunne suffered a massive and fatal coronary. In a second, this close, symbiotic partnership of forty years was over. Four weeks later, their daughter pulled through. Two months after that, arriving at LAX, she collapsed and underwent six hours of brain surgery at UCLA Medical Center to relieve a massive hematoma.
This powerful book is Didion’s attempt to make sense of the “weeks and then months that cut loose any fixed idea I ever had about death, about illness . . . about marriage and children and memory . . . about the shallowness of sanity, about life itself.”
Joan Didion was born in California and lives in New York City. She's best known for her novels and her literary journalism.
Her novels and essays explore the disintegration of American morals and cultural chaos, where the overriding theme is individual and social fragmentation. A sense of anxiety or dread permeates much of her work.
讓我想到瞭楊絳的《我們仨》...喜歡那段對grief的心理學描述:“波狀産生的軀體痛苦,每次持續20分鍾到一個小時,感覺喉嚨發緊,氣短,想嘆氣,腹部有空感,肌肉乏力,強烈的主體壓抑。”
評分A book about loss and grief. Too sad.
評分Autobiography
評分這書太矯情瞭,喪夫之痛轉換成事無巨細地記敘與丈夫生活四十年來之事,還不斷穿擦老太細讀各大科學研究及心靈雞湯式慰藉之片段。哪怕傷痛初時,總愛迴憶瑣屑往事,每日過得失魂落魄,其實結尾還不是應瞭那句老話,時間會淡忘一切的!
評分It was a bad idea to start reading Joan Didion from this book. | Of course you could love more than one person in your life, but marriage is different. Marriage is memory. Marriage is time. | Joan is a good writer after all.
“原来在悲伤开始之前,我们没有人会知道它是怎么样的。” 我们还在生命的途中,却要面对死亡。琼·狄迪恩的这本悼亡之作,在美国本土刚出版就得到一片赞誉,与中国传统的悼亡诗文不同的是,作者并非在抒情和怀念中过度地拔高了哀悼对象的崇高性,而是选择了更为精致和奇特的写...
評分我们常常讨论的死亡,往往是别人的死亡,而自己的时间、生命却从别人的死亡中断裂开来。那些对你来说至关重要的人,把你的生活分割成了拥有他或者失去他两部分,你清晰的记得这个时间断点前后每一件无关紧要的小事,并赋予它独有的意义,但没有人可以轻易接受那个事实。那些微...
評分文/梁文道 古巴比伦史诗《吉尔伽美什》很可能是人类最早的一部文学作品,在这部史诗里面有一句话非常非常的动人,它说“既然你已经死了,于是我将披上(湿皮),在旷野中流浪”。那么由此可见,大概是有文学开始,人类就开始用文学去做哀悼的作用,因此文学史上有这么一种传统...
評分这是她和自己心灵对话的记录。在经历丧夫、女儿病危等能让一个女人完全崩溃的家庭变故时,她把一切写了下来。哀伤、诚挚。四十年共同生活的片断回忆,细腻而满怀温情:哀悼的同时还有许多对于生命的思考,关于死亡疾病,关于幸与不幸,关于婚姻、孩子和记忆,关于悲伤,以及生...
評分她失去了挚爱一生的丈夫。 她有力的哀恸。却没有夸张。没有虚饰。没有。 而这几日猛然发现,起码我所接触到的圈子里包括自己,都曾一度或仍然容易夸大情绪。那种"虚假的甜蜜的想像"。用了大量的形容词来描绘荣耀,获得,爱情,和失去。 我仔细的阅读八月...
