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.
Through the trivial recollection of memories, there would be a line of epiphany strikes like thunder.
評分“Life changes fast. Life changes in the instant. You sit down to dinner and life as you know it ends." “We imagined we knew everything the other thought, even when we did not necessarily want to know it, but in fact, I have come to see, we knew not the smallest fraction of what there was to know.”
評分老爺子翻成“隨思年”很棒啊
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.

当初买下它,也是因为看了《三联生活周刊》的一篇书评介绍。本书开头的那段文字,打动了我:“生活改变很快。生活瞬间改变。你坐下来吃饭,而你熟知的生活结束了。” 作者是位美国著名的女作家。就在她的女儿因流感病情加剧而住院后五天,丈夫却因为心脏病突发而意外身亡。而...
評分 評分“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...
