i cannot explain the love i have for this woman. reading her memoir and reading as her life goes on and how she captures the past makes me feel like im living in it. there is a special place for people who endure such suffering in life. may she rest in power.

"When we talk about mortality, we're talking about our children." perfect.

Beautiful and heartbreaking.

Just finished the book. Amazing. She touched the reader with her words like a close friend spilling out her heart over shared drinks of an afternoon.

Reading the other comments here, I would say your ignorance is in the minority. Go back to reading "One FIsh, Two Fish". Probably more on your emotional level.

amy butchas 😂 Luminaries are often controversial and polarizing. I know dotards can be that, too. But Joan is the opposite of a dotard, so I’m with you: “One fish, two fish.”

Into my second reading of this book. I'm appreciating Didion's beautiful writing even more than the first time. Maybe because the years have brought me the passing of my closest friends from high school, from college, from my first year after college. They are all gone. // Alas, everything and everyone passes -- time and people.

Rest in peace, Joan Didion.

Tears. Time passes.

An incredible book. 💖

However do we protect the unprotectable......we try.

Life is an adventure and so is death, but if death is nothing then life still is.

Well if you think about it...bungee gum Has the property Of both gum and rubber🧐🧐

Beautiful.

"could it be, i didn't believe it?" if i was anywhere near as articulate as her, I'd muster the apt synonyms for profoundly sad but precious here.

She's so eloquent. :(

Stunning

this reminds me of the first scene/opening chapter of White Oleander by Janet Fitch

Can you imagine how she would approach MAGA? I love Joan Didion. This book is sad but beautiful,
