The Year of Magical Thinking – Joan Didion (2006 Paperback, Second-Hand Book)
Joan Didion’s acclaimed memoir of grief, memory and survival, written with the clarity and precision that made her one of the most distinctive voices in modern American literature.
The Year of Magical Thinking reflects on the sudden death of Didion’s husband, writer John Gregory Dunne, and the period of illness surrounding their daughter. Through deeply personal observation, Didion examines the strange logic of grief, the persistence of memory and the ways people attempt to make sense of profound loss.
Intimate, restrained and deeply affecting, the book combines memoir with reflection on love, marriage, mortality and mourning. It remains one of Didion’s most widely read and celebrated works.
