From one of America's greatest & most iconic writers: an honest & courageous portrait of age & motherhood. Several days before Christmas 2003, Joan Didion's only daughter, Quintana, fell seriously ill. In 2010, Didion marked the sixth anniversary of her daughter's death. ' Blue Nights' is a shatteringly honest examination of Joan Didion's life as a mother, a woman & a writer. Recently widowed, & becoming increasingly frail, ' Blue Nights' is Didion's attempt to understand our deepest fears, our inadequate adjustments to aging & to put a name to what we refuse to see & as a consequence fail to face up to, 'this refusal even to engage in such contemplation, this failure to confront the certainties of aging, illness & death. This fear.' This fear is tied to what we cherish most & fight to conserve, protect, & refuse to let go, for, 'when we are talking about mortality we are talking about our children.' To face death is to let go of memory, to be bereft once more, 'I know what it is I am now experiencing. I know what the frailty is, I know what the fear is.' The fear is not for what is lost. The fear is for what is still to be lost. You may see nothing still to be lost. Yet there is no day in her life on which I do not see her. A profound, poetic & powerful book about motherhood & the fierce way in which we continue to exalt & nurture our children, even if they only live on in memory. ' Blue Nights' is an intensely personal, & yet, strangely universal account of how we love. It is both groundbreaking & a culmination of a stunning career. This book has 188 pages & is 21.5cm x 13.5cm x 1.5cm. ...
