Overview
El diario inédito de Joan Didion. Un libro extraordinario que completa un tríptico compuesto también por El año del pensamiento mágico y Noches azules.
«Escribo estrictamente para averiguar qué estoy pensando, qué estoy mirando, qué veo y qué significa».
En noviembre de 1999, Joan Didion empezó a visitar a un psiquiatra porque, como escribió a un amigo, su familia había estado pasando «unos años difíciles». Durante meses, registró sus encuentros con meticuloso detalle en un diario destinado a su marido, John Gregory Dunne.
Las sesiones iniciales se centraron en el alcoholismo, la adopción, la depresión, la ansiedad, la culpa y las desgarradoras complejidades de la relación con su hija Quintana. Estos asuntos mutaron hasta abarcar su trabajo, que le resultaba difícil mantener durante períodos prolongados. Hubo discusiones sobre su propia infancia —malentendidos y falta de comunicación con su madre y su padre, así como la temprana tendencia de la joven Joan a anticipar catástrofes— y la cuestión del legado, o, como ella lo expresaba, «lo que ha valido».
El diario de Didion fue elaborado con la precisión, la lucidez y la elegancia que caracterizan a la autora. Sin embargo, aquí aparece también una Joan Didion que nunca habíamos visto: Apuntes para John es el registro extraordinariamente íntimo de un viaje doloroso y valiente en la vida de una de las más grandes escritoras de nuestro tiempo.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • An extraordinary work from the author of The Year of Magical Thinking and Blue Nights
In November 1999, Joan Didion began seeing a psychiatrist because, as she wrote to a friend, her family had had “a rough few years.” She described the sessions in a journal she created for her husband, John Gregory Dunne.
For several months, Didion recorded conversations with the psychiatrist in meticulous detail. The initial sessions focused on alcoholism, adoption, depression, anxiety, guilt, and the heartbreaking complexities of her relationship with her daughter, Quintana. The subjects evolved to include her work, which she was finding difficult to maintain for sustained periods. There were discussions about her own childhood—misunderstandings and lack of communication with her mother and father, her early tendency to anticipate catastrophe—and the question of legacy, or, as she put it, “what it’s been worth.” The analysis would continue for more than a decade.
Didion’s journal was crafted with the singular intelligence, precision, and elegance that characterize all of her writing. It is an unprecedently intimate account that reveals sides of her that were unknown, but the voice is unmistakably hers—questioning, courageous, and clear in the face of a wrenchingly painful journey.
