: :
: 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 Quintana's :
: wedding in New York seven years before. Today would be her wedding :
: anniversary. This fact triggers vivid snapshots of Quintana's 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. :
