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...
评分初读《蓝夜》,很不理解这本书的名字,为什么叫蓝夜?蓝夜又是什么? 蒋方舟曾在微博里写到这本书时说“她让我知道,真实是抵御逆境最好的方式,能让人在混乱中依然保持清醒。” 这本书是美国作家琼.狄迪恩为纪念她逝世的女儿所做。当一个人面对失去挚爱的痛苦,她会是怎样的无...
评分 评分我对译序大张旗鼓地渲染悲伤感到不适,虽然译者没有寻章摘句地对文本进行过度解读,但是“肝肠寸断”“黯然销魂”这些字眼用得如此触目惊心,主题揭示得太早,还未开篇,就已泪流。 关于“悼亡”“伤逝”的作品太多了,杨绛在《我们仨》文末引用的白居易的诗——大都好物不坚牢...
