From 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. Reflecting on her daughter but also on her role as a parent, Didion asks the candid questions any parent might about how she feels she failed either because cues were not taken or perhaps displaced. “How could I have missed what was clearly there to be seen?” Finally, perhaps we all remain unknown to each other. Seamlessly woven in are incidents Didion sees as underscoring her own 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 profoundly moving.
琼•狄迪恩说:为了生存,我们讲述。我能理解她这句话的含义,我也失去过亲人,我的爷爷奶奶、姥姥姥爷,至今也无法忘怀他们对我的爱。思念至极时常会用文字来纪念他们,因为他们一直活在我的心中,从未离开。看作者的简历,让我想起一位了不起的中国女性,她的丈夫是这样评...
评分这本薄薄小书的开篇,琼.狄迪恩向我们介绍了什么是“蓝夜”——盛夏将逝的一些黄昏,天光全是幽蓝色的。应该是一年阳光照射地面最长时,才会有蓝夜的景象。“它与光亮消逝恰恰相反,却又敲响光亮消逝的警钟”。像我有时会莫名惧怕雷电劈开天空的景象,可能不是“蓝夜”,自然和...
评分 评分touchingly sad yet inspiring
评分"Memory fades, memory adjusts, memory conforms to what we think we remember." --Joan Didion.
评分很美,重复多次的那几段回忆仿佛是依然不敢相信女儿的死亡,不敢相信那蓝色夜晚的消逝。缺点是作者有时也会太沉浸在自我情绪里,变成碎碎念……
评分感觉智慧不足。
评分阅读体验没有奇想之年好 喜欢Joan Didion敢于直接面对死亡剖析死亡的勇气,尤其是在奇想之年里。面对突如其来的死亡,写作对她来说应该是一种curing,让她有勇气面对生活。相比之下,blue nights更加温和,因为女儿的死比丈夫的死更加prepared,并不是在毫无准备的情况下,在一个再平常不过的晚上,突然来袭。但是喜欢开篇关于纽约blue nights的描写,伤感而美好。将来一定会想念纽约啊
