fav line:"nor can we know ahead of the fact (and here lies the heart of the difference between grief as we imagine it and grief as it is) the unending absence that follows, the void, the very opposite of meaning, the relentless succession of moments during which we will confront the experience of meaninglessness itself."
this was the perfect book to be reading this last month-like a therapist in a kindle. i loved it, very honest and well-written. joan is a BA.

fav line:"it was sometimes painful for me to think that to those who followed his life with interest, i was just the early wife, the paris wife. but that was probably vanity, wanting to stand out among a long line of women. in truth it didn't matter what others saw."
read it. then watch Midnight in Paris again :)
First of all, Joan Didion is amazing. Second of all, this book is amazing. Have you read Play it as it Lays? I thought it was even better than A Year of Magical Thinking.
