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.
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...
評分说来惭愧,直到微信公众号“正午故事”推送了《奇想之年》的片段,我才第一次认识了狄迪恩。那段时间的心境也正好吻合《奇想之年》的主题,又刚刚看完了题材相关的保罗·卡兰蒂尼的《当呼吸化为空气》,因此一下子就喜欢上了,赶紧加入了购书单。奈何我的购书单长达十多页,两...
評分认识狄迪恩,是在《奇想之年》。 我被她惊吓到。 是的,是惊吓。她写丈夫猝然离世、女儿接连昏迷这些密集的重大打击,细微至极,读者尚心痛不忍,难以想象作者是如何回忆起那些点滴细节,再大悲大痛一场的。但她就能毫末不遗却又冷静克制,还能让你心中时时涌动着一股肆虐的暗...
評分 評分在打开《蓝夜》之前,我已经知道这是一本悼亡之书。扉页写着“献给金塔纳”。金塔纳是此书作者琼•狄迪恩的女儿。 2005年,琼•狄迪恩71岁那年,她唯一的女儿金塔纳因病离去。而就在两年前,她已经受过一次至亲的离开——她的丈夫在2003年突发心脏病去世。 《蓝夜》这本书...
on the death of the daughter/太多的反復,太多的呼應。迴憶太長的無奈感。/我們試圖相互理解,盡管總是失敗。
评分很美,重復多次的那幾段迴憶仿佛是依然不敢相信女兒的死亡,不敢相信那藍色夜晚的消逝。缺點是作者有時也會太沉浸在自我情緒裏,變成碎碎念……
评分不太像memoir 看得很沒興趣 幾乎是逼著自己看完的 想著都看一半瞭搞不好後半部分會很好看 並沒有。可能是不太習慣這種類似whining/perpetually fearful的風格 又零碎的很 夾帶很多沒必要的細節 雖然她總把這些和Q聯係起來 但其實並沒看齣有多麼深刻的connection//最戳是講因為沒有趕上兩班火車而自殺的女生那part
评分yes, i understand. do not complain, work harder, and spend more time alone.
评分“The blossoms had eventually fallen but the branches had remained, brittle and dusty, twigs breaking off, nonetheless still passing as decorative elements in the living room.”
