![]() ![]() “How could I have missed what was clearly there to be seen?” Finally, perhaps we all remain unknown to each other. Reflecting on her daughter but also on her role as a parent, Didion asks the candid questions any parent might about how she feels she failed either because cues were not taken or perhaps displaced. This fact triggers vivid snapshots of Quintana’s childhood-in Malibu, in Brentwood, at school in Holmby Hills. Richly textured with bits of her own childhood and married life with her husband, John Gregory Dunne, and daughter, Quintana Roo, this book by Joan Didion examines her thoughts, fears, and doubts regarding having children, illness, and growing old.īlue Nights opens on July 26, 2010, as Didion thinks back to Quintana’s wedding in New York seven years before. From one of our most powerful writers, a work of stunning frankness about losing a daughter. ![]()
