didion's Journalistic Skills Are Displayed As Never Before In This Story Of A Year In Her Life That Began With Her Daughter In A Medically Induced Coma And Her Husband Unexpectedly Dead Due To A Heart Attack. This Powerful And Moving Work 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. With Vulnerability And Passion, Joan Didion Explores An Intensely Personal Yet Universal Experience Of Love And Loss. The Year Of Magical Thinking Will Speak Directly To Anyone Who Has Ever Loved A Husband, Wife, Or Child.
the Washinton Post - Jonathan Yardleythe Year Of Magical Thinking, Though It Spares Nothing In Describing Didion's Confusion, Grief And Derangement, Is A Work Of Surpassing Clarity And Honesty. It May Not Provide Meaning To Her Husband's Death Or Her Daughter's Illness, But It Describes Their Effects On Her With Unsparing Candor. It Was Not Written As A Self-help Handbook For The Bereaved But As A Journey Into A Place That None Of Us Can Fully Imagine Until We Have Been There.
