THE YEAR OF MAGICAL THINKING

Best-seller encensé par la critique, The Year of Magical Thinking est un témoignage bouleversant, à la fois pudique et intime.

Several days before Christmas, John Gregory Dunne and Joan Didion saw their only daughter, fall ill with what seemed at first flu. She was put into an induced coma and placed on life support. Days later—the night before New Year’s Eve—the Dunnes were just sitting down to dinner after visiting the hospital when John Gregory Dunne suffered a massive and fatal coronary. In a second, this close, symbiotic partnership of forty years was over.

This powerful book is Didion’ s attempt to make sense of the weeks and then months that changed her life. The result is a personal yet universal portrait of marriage and life, in good times and bad, from one of the defining voices of American literature.
