Un libro muy interesante y una historia preciosa, aunque muy trágica

Didion is a brillant observer. Her almost detached, analytical way of documenting her process of grief and mourning is likely to resonate with readers whose experience, fears and anxieties have proven, wholly or in part, immune to denial.

Además de no ser la portada anunciada, el libro llegó sucio: manchas en el canto, la portada y páginas. Parece usado

La narrativa enigmatica de Didion nos invita a lo más íntimo de su relación y de su duelo.Llegó un poco maltratado.

Habiendo perdido a mi mamá a destiempo el sentimiento del duelo me hizo encontrarme sola. Joan Didion cambia eso, pone en palabras lo que yo jamás supe como expresar

I was a little reluctant to buy this book, expecting maybe a bit of sentimentality or what I would deem foolishness; however, I appreciated and enjoyed reading the book, which deals with 'grieving' (in contrast to 'mourning'), occasioned by the early death of Didion's husband. Grieving has similarities with mental illness, as Didion notes, and leads to many strange actions and thoughts, wishes, hopes. Didion is quite objective about this period in her life, but presents it with emotion that is affecting. I found her reference to literary works well-integrated and meaningful; it sent me back to re-read some of the poems etc she referenced. Of course, the work makes one think or contemplate: this could happen to me, I could lose my wife and be left alone, a little unbalanced and, likewise, thinking magically. Best to learn: appreciate, as I think Didion did, every moment we have with someone who is part of the fabric of our life. Read it, experience grief and, ultimately, the triumph of life.

Ce livre écrit par l'écrivain Joan Didion est très émouvant mais aussi très instructif. L'essai décrit le choc et l'émotion de Didion après la mort soudaine de son mari, aussi écrivain. Page après page nous suivons les différentes étapes des faits et des émotions qui suivent la mort d'un être aimé. Même si le lecteur ou la lectrice ne souffre pas du même genre de deuil, car tout le monde ne perd pas un mari à table d'une crise cardiaque fulgurente, ce livre ne peut pas ne pas émouvoir et réconforter. Il faut aussi noter que le livre est très bien écrit ce qui est rare dans ce genre de livre très personnel qui est souvent écrit par des gens sincères mais mauvais écrivains. Ce livre publié en 2005 a eu un grand succès auprès du public qui était fasciné par la précision des souvenirs de Didion, la reconstitution de son mariage, la maladie de sa fille, la force de son amour et de son désemparement pendant cette année de "pensées magiques" qui ont marqué cette première année de deuil.

Didion gives us the privilege of spending a year with her. A year in which her husband dies of a massive heart attack at the table as they sit down for dinner, and a year in which her only child hangs onto life by a thread in intensive care suffering from one potentially fatal illness after another.Didion's prose is always lucid, but here the crisp journalistic approach to her subject is muted by her personal odyssey, her frantic need to try to understand and get to grips with events and feelings that are not as easily pinned down or understood as the hard facts and figures she reads and writes about, trying to give herself something to use as an anchor point in her rapidly disintegrating life.Other reviewers have commented on her lack of warmth, her obsessive compulsion to log the minutiae of the days that follow her husband's death and suggested that this means that she is cold. Far from it in my opinion. At the beginning of the book she talks about the strange split in one's psyche when someone close to you dies, the feeling that the world has shattered apart and will never be the same again. Yet at the same time one is obliged to continue living life as if unaffected because our modern sensibilities do not allow for outpourings of raw grief. Then there is the fact that even if we grieve more ostentatiously, the world with all its drab little facts continues turning whether we like it or not.Didion walks the tightrope between a grief so profound that she dare not throw away her husband's shoes in case he comes back and needs them, and the fact that she has to be present in the world for her daughter. She clings to the pragmatic, to the facts, like a drowning woman grabbing a life raft. Her prose is exquisite, much like her pain. An astonishing book.
