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...
评分 评分认识狄迪恩,是在《奇想之年》。 我被她惊吓到。 是的,是惊吓。她写丈夫猝然离世、女儿接连昏迷这些密集的重大打击,细微至极,读者尚心痛不忍,难以想象作者是如何回忆起那些点滴细节,再大悲大痛一场的。但她就能毫末不遗却又冷静克制,还能让你心中时时涌动着一股肆虐的暗...

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.
