Blue Nights
Joan DidionFrom 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. As she reflects on her daughter’s life and on her role as a parent, Didion grapples with the candid questions that all parents face, and contemplates her 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 profound.
"Incantatory... A beautiful condolence note to humanity about some of the painful realities of the human condition." - The Washington Post
