JOAN DIDION

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.

These notes, crafted with the singular intelligence, precision, and elegance that characterize all of her writing, provide an unprecedently intimate account that reveals sides of her that were unknown. The voice is unmistakably hers—questioning, courageous, and clear in the face of a wrenchingly painful journey.
