Description: We take pride in our secure packaging DEEPLY PERSONAL MEMOIR FROM A LEADING AMERICAN WRITER THIS ACCLAIMED BOOK IS A SEARING PERSONAL MEMOIR by the writer-journalist Joan Didion (1934-2021) about the year that followed two awful events in her life - the sudden death of her husband and fellow writer John Gregory Dunne, and the serious illness of their daughter Quintana. Ms Didion was a pioneer of what is known as counter-culture journalism in which she portrayed notably the 1960s lifestyle in a new and riveting style. This book was Ms Didion's attempt to make sense of weeks and months that cut through what had been her fixed ideas of family life. It was a finalist for a Pulitzer Prize and was later adapted for theater and staged in many parts of the world. The author incorporated much medical and psychological research in the text. It was published in 2005 and this copy is a fourth printing. The book is in very nice condition with clean, fresh and crisp pages, a firm and square hardcover binding and an intact dust-jacket. It is pre-owned but shows little sign of it. In 2019, The Guardian ranked it 40th in a list of the best 100 books of the current century.
