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.
回忆浓浓
评分让我想到了杨绛的《我们仨》...喜欢那段对grief的心理学描述:“波状产生的躯体痛苦,每次持续20分钟到一个小时,感觉喉咙发紧,气短,想叹气,腹部有空感,肌肉乏力,强烈的主体压抑。”
评分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.
评分“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.”
评分看得憋屈死,不断自我剖析的文风在米国人里很少见么……把自己的非正常精神状态解剖了让读者分担我真的欣赏不来啊

评分牵手几十年的老伴先行一步,唯一的爱女身染重病,曾经的幸福让主人公无法专注于最后的人生之旅,在回望和记录家庭琐事中获得安宁。 相同的命运和写作背景让很多人以为,美国琼·狄迪恩的《充满奇想的一年》和杨绛的《我们仨》是悼念亡者的姊妹篇。事实上,前者更着力于...
