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.

"shockingly frank"
評分煽情,投注太過的個人情緒
評分yes, i understand. do not complain, work harder, and spend more time alone.
評分很美,重復多次的那幾段迴憶仿佛是依然不敢相信女兒的死亡,不敢相信那藍色夜晚的消逝。缺點是作者有時也會太沉浸在自我情緒裏,變成碎碎念……

读《奇想之年》时一直在回溯朋友去世的记忆,转眼朋友离开已经有六个年头,这时候再看《蓝夜》,实在百感交集。 别人安慰我说,也说过“你们留下了那么美好的记忆”一类的话,我也想着,时光总会慢慢冲淡那些伤痛,只留下美好的部分来慰藉活人。 可正如作者所写:“回忆不是慰...
