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.
Acquisition of information and self-analysis would go a long way, but actully one can not get through of the pain and loss, just day by day live with it.
評分時而把至親的生命的離去當成科學命題去剖析,又時而閃迴到無限次的記憶中,是為努力與掙紮。許多遭遇無法求解,隻能在歲月裏學會接納。
評分For once in your life, let it go. -- Finished reading them on one of the stay-up nights. Couldn't get sleep because of some stupid allergy. It's so damn easy for me to understand the feelings between the words. Feeling like I experience everything with Didion for the long yesteryear. We fall in love and we depart. Thank you for everything.
評分無感。作者自我意識過剩,分析傷痛,分析迴憶,完瞭還在一直不停分析自我。文章各種意義上的流水賬,充滿瞭我完全無法引起任何共鳴的細節,讀的時候老感覺這本書其實就是作者為瞭發泄感情而寫,如同日記。不知道magical thinking到底magical在哪兒。還不如叫做《喪夫日記》比較確切一些。我懂迴憶是由碎片構成,也不是說我反感細節,但是沒有強烈的、讀者熟悉的情感支撐,陌生的細節隻會更陌生。像死亡這樣宇宙通用的話題,卻被作者埋在一堆過於細節化的流水賬裏,對於悲傷的科學研究裏,對於自我的分析裏。但也不是完全找不到同感,讀的時候常常思緒一飄萬裏,覺得我認識的有些人雖然沒死,但是我們之間的關係基本上就像他死瞭一樣……不過話說迴來,沒有經曆過失去(甚至得到?!)的我可能從最開始就沒有跟作者站在一起。

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...
