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.

【人生在一刹那间改变】 【那一刹那稀松平常】 2013年5月24日上午,我在教室上计量经济学课,老头儿在讲台上拿着粉笔讲得正起劲,台下有一半的学生已经主动放弃。老头儿中气十足的声音,老电风扇嗡嗡的转动声,背后室友小声的说话声……所有声音纠缠到一起,像一团解不开的耳机...

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.”
“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Joan Didion丈夫心脏病突发去世之后一年的回忆录,对自己的grief的细腻描述和冷静分析,再加上女儿重病,无力感和不真实感;看了大半的时候,和朋友聊天说“想一想人生的大悲大恸,还都在前面等着呢”
评分看得憋屈死,不断自我剖析的文风在米国人里很少见么……把自己的非正常精神状态解剖了让读者分担我真的欣赏不来啊
