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.
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.”
在她给《生活》杂志写的第一篇专栏里,琼·狄迪恩透露,她和他的丈夫,作家约翰·格雷戈里·邓恩正在檀香山的皇家夏威夷酒店里,准备申请离婚。这时他们已经结婚五年,婚姻正在经历一段严重的危机,邓恩也经常在派对上半开玩笑地对朋友说,这段婚姻就是一周一周的外遇(week-to...
評分我们常常讨论的死亡,往往是别人的死亡,而自己的时间、生命却从别人的死亡中断裂开来。那些对你来说至关重要的人,把你的生活分割成了拥有他或者失去他两部分,你清晰的记得这个时间断点前后每一件无关紧要的小事,并赋予它独有的意义,但没有人可以轻易接受那个事实。那些微...
評分就这样一直想念 ——读《充满奇想的一年》 魏东(www.igovm.com) 一 生,不是一件能够容易描述的事情。 死,同样如此,死亡的可怕在于死前对死亡不知何时到来的恐惧,死亡的可怕更在于死后身边人久久不能挥去的哀伤。 一段时间来突然对死亡之一话题感了兴趣,也就想起了《...
評分她失去了挚爱一生的丈夫。 她有力的哀恸。却没有夸张。没有虚饰。没有。 而这几日猛然发现,起码我所接触到的圈子里包括自己,都曾一度或仍然容易夸大情绪。那种"虚假的甜蜜的想像"。用了大量的形容词来描绘荣耀,获得,爱情,和失去。 我仔细的阅读八月...
評分先前有“间隔年”,现有美国作家琼•狄迪恩的《奇想之年》,《奇想之年》是琼•狄迪恩为了纪念逝世的爱人而写的一本回忆录,扉页写着献给约翰和金塔纳。 约翰是她共同生活40年的丈夫,于2003年12月30日晚上不幸死于突发性冠心病,一瞬间,琼•狄迪恩说:“就没了”。 2...
Acquisition of information and self-analysis would go a long way, but actully one can not get through of the pain and loss, just day by day live with it.
评分Through the trivial recollection of memories, there would be a line of epiphany strikes like thunder.
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.”
评分這書太矯情瞭,喪夫之痛轉換成事無巨細地記敘與丈夫生活四十年來之事,還不斷穿擦老太細讀各大科學研究及心靈雞湯式慰藉之片段。哪怕傷痛初時,總愛迴憶瑣屑往事,每日過得失魂落魄,其實結尾還不是應瞭那句老話,時間會淡忘一切的!
评分Joan Didion丈夫心髒病突發去世之後一年的迴憶錄,對自己的grief的細膩描述和冷靜分析,再加上女兒重病,無力感和不真實感;看瞭大半的時候,和朋友聊天說“想一想人生的大悲大慟,還都在前麵等著呢”
