The Year of Magical Thinking
The Year of Magical Thinking
From one of America’s most 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.
John Gregory Dunne and Joan Didion saw their daughter fall ill. At first, they thought it was the flu, then she was placed on life support. Days later, the Dunnes were sitting down to dinner when John suffered a massive and fatal coronary.
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".
The result is a personal yet universal portrait of marriage and life, in good times and bad, from one of the defining voices of American literature.
