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.

牵手几十年的老伴先行一步,唯一的爱女身染重病,曾经的幸福让主人公无法专注于最后的人生之旅,在回望和记录家庭琐事中获得安宁。 相同的命运和写作背景让很多人以为,美国琼·狄迪恩的《充满奇想的一年》和杨绛的《我们仨》是悼念亡者的姊妹篇。事实上,前者更着力于...
评分文/梁文道 古巴比伦史诗《吉尔伽美什》很可能是人类最早的一部文学作品,在这部史诗里面有一句话非常非常的动人,它说“既然你已经死了,于是我将披上(湿皮),在旷野中流浪”。那么由此可见,大概是有文学开始,人类就开始用文学去做哀悼的作用,因此文学史上有这么一种传统...

评分她失去了挚爱一生的丈夫。 她有力的哀恸。却没有夸张。没有虚饰。没有。 而这几日猛然发现,起码我所接触到的圈子里包括自己,都曾一度或仍然容易夸大情绪。那种"虚假的甜蜜的想像"。用了大量的形容词来描绘荣耀,获得,爱情,和失去。 我仔细的阅读八月...

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.”
时而把至亲的生命的离去当成科学命题去剖析,又时而闪回到无限次的记忆中,是为努力与挣扎。许多遭遇无法求解,只能在岁月里学会接纳。
