Joan Didion

Notes to John

€14,95

A pile of neatly typed pages was found in Joan Didion’s office after her death. She had meticulously recorded her weekly sessions with a psychiatrist.

As far as anyone knows, the pages had been read by only one other person: Didion’s husband, John Gregory Dunne. The sessions began as a method of dealing with the heartbreaking alcoholism of their adult daughter, Quintana. Discussions broadened into revelations about Didion's own childhood, marriage, work and ‘what’s been worth’.

Writing was the way Didion dealt with life. Notes to John presents a riveting account of the therapeutic process, crafted with the singular intelligence, precision and elegance that characterise all of her work.ers—questioning, courageous, and clear in the face of a wrenchingly painful journey.
