| Blue Nights | | | | | | | | | | DATE: 2012-07-01 SIZE: 1,73MB DISKS: 01_______4,77MB PAGES: | | | | PUBLISHER: Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group GENRE: Biography | | | | AUTHOR: Joan Didion | | | | FORMAT: EPUB PROTECTION: DRM EDITION: | | | | URL: http://is_gd/pq8u8c | | | | LANGUAGE: English ISBN: 978-0-307-70051-3 | : : : From one of our most powerful writers, a work of stunning frankness about : : losing a daughter. Richly textured with bits of her own childhood and : : married life with her husband, John Gregory Dunne, and daughter, Quintana : : Roo, this new book by Joan Didion examines her thoughts, fears, and doubts : : regarding having children, illness, and growing old. : : : : Blue Nights opens on July 26, 2010, as Didion thinks back to Quintanas : : wedding in New York seven years before. Today would be her wedding : : anniversary. This fact triggers vivid snapshots of Quintanas childhood--in: : Malibu, in Brentwood, at school in Holmby Hills. Reflecting on her daughter: : but also on her role as a parent, Didion asks the candid questions any : : parent might about how she feels she failed either because cues were not : : taken or perhaps displaced. How could I have missed what was clearly there: : to be seen? Finally, perhaps we all remain unknown to each other. : : Seamlessly woven in are incidents Didion sees as underscoring her own age, : : something she finds hard to acknowledge, much less accept. : : : : Blue Nights--the long, light evening hours that signal the summer solstice,: : the opposite of the dying of the brightness, but also its warning--like : : The Year of Magical Thinking before it, is an iconic book of incisive and : : electric honesty, haunting and profoundly moving. :-------------------------------------Torrent downloaded from http://thepiratebay.se
