From one of our most powerful writers, a work of stunning frankness about losing a daughter. Richly textured with bits of her own childhood and married life with her husband, John Gregory Dunne, and daughter, Quintana Roo, this new book by Joan Didion examines her thoughts, fears, and doubts regarding having children, illness, and growing old.
Blue Nights opens on July 26, 2010, as Didion thinks back to Quintana’s wedding in New York seven years before. Today would be her wedding anniversary. This fact triggers vivid snapshots of Quintana’s childhood—in Malibu, in Brentwood, at school in Holmby Hills. Reflecting on her daughter but also on her role as a parent, Didion asks the candid questions any parent might about how she feels she failed either because cues were not taken or perhaps displaced. “How could I have missed what was clearly there to be seen?” Finally, perhaps we all remain unknown to each other. Seamlessly woven in are incidents Didion sees as underscoring her own age, something she finds hard to acknowledge, much less accept.
Blue Nights —the long, light evening hours that signal the summer solstice, “the opposite of the dying of the brightness, but also its warning”—like The Year of Magical Thinking before it, is an iconic book of incisive and electric honesty, haunting and profoundly moving.

评分"shockingly frank"
评分不太像memoir 看得很没兴趣 几乎是逼着自己看完的 想着都看一半了搞不好后半部分会很好看 并没有。可能是不太习惯这种类似whining/perpetually fearful的风格 又零碎的很 夹带很多没必要的细节 虽然她总把这些和Q联系起来 但其实并没看出有多么深刻的connection//最戳是讲因为没有赶上两班火车而自杀的女生那part
评分煽情,投注太过的个人情绪
爱是肝肠寸断,对这句话不能再认同。不过还好,一整本书读下来我的心肝脾胃肾都还完好无损。 喜欢读书,是因为我可以跟着作者去感受他的生活,也可以随时合上书,从故事中抽离。但生命不一样,由不得你来做主。 人生的三大悲哀莫过于,少年丧父、中年丧夫、老年丧子。而我每天...
评分这本薄薄小书的开篇,琼.狄迪恩向我们介绍了什么是“蓝夜”——盛夏将逝的一些黄昏,天光全是幽蓝色的。应该是一年阳光照射地面最长时,才会有蓝夜的景象。“它与光亮消逝恰恰相反,却又敲响光亮消逝的警钟”。像我有时会莫名惧怕雷电劈开天空的景象,可能不是“蓝夜”,自然和...
评分初读《蓝夜》,很不理解这本书的名字,为什么叫蓝夜?蓝夜又是什么? 蒋方舟曾在微博里写到这本书时说“她让我知道,真实是抵御逆境最好的方式,能让人在混乱中依然保持清醒。” 这本书是美国作家琼.狄迪恩为纪念她逝世的女儿所做。当一个人面对失去挚爱的痛苦,她会是怎样的无...
