The Year of Magical Thinking
This is how Joan Didion begins her journey through the memory of the most transformative year of her life, starting on the night her husband, to whom she had been married for over 30 years, dies of a heart attack.
With writing that is as incisive as it is clean, as honest as it is disarming, Didion explores the living who survive the dead, revealing through her personal experience that which is universal to us all: the pain of loss, the need to persevere when everything seems futile.
“Joan Didion’s mastery lies in the simplicity with which she tells us what we all feel and how moving that is. Pain, joy, grief, enthusiasm, love, the sheer audacity of existence. It is all in her writing.”
Patrícia Reis, author and editor of Revista Egoísta
“Didion, more than any other contemporary author, was concerned with the way we tell stories, how we create narratives, and what we do with them.”
Susana Moreira Marques, author of Agora e na Hora da Nossa Morte
