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.

這本薄薄小書的開篇,瓊.狄迪恩嚮我們介紹瞭什麼是“藍夜”——盛夏將逝的一些黃昏,天光全是幽藍色的。應該是一年陽光照射地麵最長時,纔會有藍夜的景象。“它與光亮消逝恰恰相反,卻又敲響光亮消逝的警鍾”。像我有時會莫名懼怕雷電劈開天空的景象,可能不是“藍夜”,自然和...
評分初讀《藍夜》,很不理解這本書的名字,為什麼叫藍夜?藍夜又是什麼? 蔣方舟曾在微博裏寫到這本書時說“她讓我知道,真實是抵禦逆境最好的方式,能讓人在混亂中依然保持清醒。” 這本書是美國作傢瓊.狄迪恩為紀念她逝世的女兒所做。當一個人麵對失去摯愛的痛苦,她會是怎樣的無...

評分閱讀體驗沒有奇想之年好 喜歡Joan Didion敢於直接麵對死亡剖析死亡的勇氣,尤其是在奇想之年裏。麵對突如其來的死亡,寫作對她來說應該是一種curing,讓她有勇氣麵對生活。相比之下,blue nights更加溫和,因為女兒的死比丈夫的死更加prepared,並不是在毫無準備的情況下,在一個再平常不過的晚上,突然來襲。但是喜歡開篇關於紐約blue nights的描寫,傷感而美好。將來一定會想念紐約啊
評分不太像memoir 看得很沒興趣 幾乎是逼著自己看完的 想著都看一半瞭搞不好後半部分會很好看 並沒有。可能是不太習慣這種類似whining/perpetually fearful的風格 又零碎的很 夾帶很多沒必要的細節 雖然她總把這些和Q聯係起來 但其實並沒看齣有多麼深刻的connection//最戳是講因為沒有趕上兩班火車而自殺的女生那part
