Krátky popis
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER'Utterly fascinating' NEW YORK TIMES'A
profound, rich document'NEW STATESMAN'An act of intimate
storytelling'VOGUEA recently discovered journal from one of
America's most iconic writers, Joan Didion, the author of The Year
of Magical Thinking and Blue NightsIn November 1999, Joan Didion
began seeing a psychiatrist because, as she wrote to a friend, her
family had had 'a rough few years'. She described the sessions in a
journal she created for her husband, John Gregory Dunne.For several
months, Didion recorded conversations with the psychiatrist in
meticulous detail. The initial sessions focused on alcoholism,
adoption, depression, anxiety, guilt, and the heartbreaking
complexities of her relationship with her daughter, Quintana.The
subjects evolved to include her work, which she was finding
difficult to maintain for sustained periods. There were discussions
about her own childhood - misunderstandings and lack of
communication with her mother and father, her early tendency to
anticipate catastrophe - and the question of legacy, or, as she put
it, 'what it's been worth'. The analysis would continue for more
than a decade.Didion's journal was crafted with the singular
intelligence, precision, and elegance that characterize all of her
writing.It is an unprecedently intimate account that reveals sides
of her that were unknown, but the voice is unmistakably hers -
questioning, courageous, and clear in the face of a wrenchingly
painful journey.'An incredibly intimate insight into her
relationship with her daughter, depression, and
creativity'GUARDIAN'So moving. I am astonished at the level of
recall ... They are a record of trying to save a life, and
