这就是为什么像《奇幻思维之年》这样的回忆录热销的原因吧。写到她不满40岁的丈夫,约翰格雷戈里邓恩严重心脏病发作之后的日子,琼迪丹用自己亲身经历去反思了死亡最本质的荒谬,并令人感动地思考着如何用时间让平凡的生命不再平凡。这本书还有件未曾提及的惨事这件事就发生在书已成稿而并未出版之时是琼迪丹的女儿昆塔斯终于不用再遭受严重胰脏炎的折磨了,去世时仅39岁。
With Blue Nights, her first book since the earlier memoir, Ms Didion conveys the lonelinessof living on without her child or husband, and the indignities of ageing. For decades her lifehad been charmed, even more so than she had realised. But in a matter of months in 2003everything turned unspeakably grim. It is horrible to see oneself die without children, shequotes Napoleon as saying. This is a difficult book, but not a sentimental one. Ms Didion hasa remarkable ability to consider her own feelings without letting her prose turn soggy withemotion.
而用《忧郁的夜》,这本她早期回忆录之后的头一本书,琼迪丹表达了失去丈夫和女儿后生活的孤独和衰老带给她的侮辱。几十年来她的生活如同被施了魔法一般,更奇妙的是她自己没有意识到这一点。2003年的几个月中,一切变得无法形容的可怖。引用拿破仑的名言,她说道:眼睁睁地看着自己无儿无女地死去是如此可怕。这是一本关于困难的书,但却不是关于脆弱的。琼迪丹有一种非凡的能力,将沉闷的情绪排除在自己的散文之外,不带感情地思考。
