“I warned you…You don’t want to think it could happen to you. That’s why I’m here.”
—Joan Didion
Spare, exact, and quietly gripping, The Year of Magical Thinking confronts the strange logic of grief and the limits of reason when life changes in an instant.
In this intimate reading, Paula Langton takes on Joan Didion’s extraordinary meditation on love, loss, memory, marriage, and the mind’s refusal to accept what it cannot change.
