The year of magical thinking

The year of magical thinking

Before Christmas 2003, writers John Gregory Dunne and Joan Didion saw their daughter fall ill with septic shock. Some days later, Dunne suffered a massive and fatal coronary. In a second, their close, symbiotic partnership was over. The 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.".
