"Mental and psychological pain, at every stage, are exquisitely rendered by Didion: her habitually fragmented prose, heavy with abstractions and the pathos of the everyday, here finds its perfect subject." "[A]n indispensable addition to Didion's body of work and a lyrical, disciplined entry in the annals of mourning literature." First lineLife changes fast. Life changes in the instant. You sit down to dinner and life as you know it ends. The question of self-pity. Publisher's noteAn autobiographical portrait of marriage and motherhood by the acclaimed author details the critical illness of her daughter, Quintana Roo, followed by the fatal coronary of her husband, John Gregory Dunne, and her daughter's second bout with a life-threatening ailment, and her struggle to come to terms with life and death, illness, sanity, personal upheaval, and grief. AnnotationIn THE YEAR OF MAGICAL THINKING, Joan Didion writes an account of her life since the 2003 death of her husband, John Gregory Dunne. Didion's grief was profound and debilitating; she and Dunne had been married for nearly 40 years, during which they were hardly ever apart. But in the course of her mourning period, she also gained crucial insights into herself, her marriage, death, and loss. Winner of the 2005 National Book Award for Nonfiction and named one of the 10 Best Books of 2005 by the New York Times.
