"Her book is thrilling . . . a living, sharp, memorable book . . .

Synopsis
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,""", Didion chronicles the experience of losing her husband, the writer John Gregory Dunne, to a massive coronary, just weeks after the two of them watched as their only daughter was put into an induced coma to save her life.

    A translation of Pushkin’s verse novel by Vladimir Nabokov, this item was exactly as described in the listing. The packaging was well done for shipment, and the book was delivered faster than expected. The introduction where Nabokov discussed the various difficulties in translating verse alone was worth the price of the book- a modest price for such a fascinating novel. buy of a fascinating novel

    Book came earlier than expected was in very good condition and the seller was very easy to communicate with overall a really good experience. The book was as described. It was heavily packaged and safely contained in bubble wrap, a protective bag, and a plastic wrap and it’s 100% worth what I spent for it

    Product was exactly as depicted. Had a great “old bookstore” smell to it since it was a 1964 edition. Packaging came with a nice thank you card too! It shipped in a matter of a few days. Can’t beat the value. Thank you!

  • Deeply thoughtful, engrossing and personally relatable

    Like the author Joan Didion, my husband died suddenly almost 3 years ago. I thought it would be helpful for me to get another widow's perspective. While I never did things hoping that my husband would "magically" come back, I could relate very deeply to the majority of what Ms. Didion was describing. Most of the time while reading the book, I found myself nodding and acknowledging that I felt the exact same way as Ms. Didion: "Yes, that happened to me!" "Yes, that's what I did!" "Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking!" "Yes, that's exactly how I felt!" I was so moved by "The Year of Magical Thinking" that I am going to a one-woman play adaptation of it in the near future. Highly recommended to anyone who is dealing with the unexpected loss of a beloved spouse.

  • For Any Who Are Grieving

    This may be the best book written to date solely dedicated to the attempt to describe the loss of a spouse or other person with whom you experience true intimacy. Joan has expressed in words many of the experiences I have had since my Help Meet died 21 months ago. I would’ve written a book with many of Joan’s experiences if I weren’t destroyed by Grief in my “first Year of Magical Thinking”. Don’t be mislead by the book’s title: Joan has a wicked and satirical sense of humor. You may read other reviews less positive than mine and that is OK. One reviewer was unhappy with Joan because her life has been one of privilege. Joan will express some experiences in the light of the life she has lived. Try to understand her feelings: indescribable pain with love and joy. A recommended read ...

  • She’s great at expressing her feelings of loss.

    As a fairly recent widow, I can identify with the author’s grief and mourning and failure to accept reality.

    She captured everything I went through. I have given this book to many who are suffering.

  • Insights From The Year of Magical Thinking

    The book is movingly written. I enjoy just about everything Joan Didion has written. The book is full of insight and new perspectives on the loss of a loved one. It can provide teachable insights, a better way of accepting loss. A very good read.
