Episode Synopsis
S4 E11: The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion
Welcome to the Book Dialogue!
Thank you for listening in!
Join Sarah and Rebecca for a captivating discussion on “The Year of Magical Thinking” by Joan Didion. In this thought-provoking book, Joan Didion takes us on a deeply personal journey through grief and loss, grappling with the sudden death of her husband and the grave illness of her daughter.
Joan Didion’s courageous exploration of grief is compelling. She uses storytelling to highlight the universal nature of grief and the human instinct to find meaning in tragedy, drawing parallels and sharing anecdotes from her first year of living without her husband.
“We are not idealized wild things.We are imperfect mortal beings, aware of that mortality even as we push it away, failed by our very complication, so wired that when we mourn our losses we also mourn, for better or for worse, ourselves. As we were. As we are no longer. As we will one day not be at all.” JOAN DIDION, THE YEAR OF MAGICAL THINKING
