She was put into an induced coma and placed on life support. Days laterthe night before New Years Evethe Dunnes were just sitting down to dinner after visiting the hospital when John Gregory Dunne suffered a massive and fatal coronary. In a second, this close, symbiotic partnership of forty years was over. Four weeks later, their daughter pulled through. Two months after that, arriving at LAX, she collapsed and underwent six hours of brain surgery at UCLA Medical Center to relieve a massive hematoma.This powerful book is Didion s attempt to make sense of the weeks and then months that cut loose any fixed idea I ever had about death, about illness . about marriage and children and memory . about the shallowness of sanity, about life itself. Didion chronicles the experience of losing her husband, the writer John Gregory Dunne, to a massive coronary, just weeks after the two of them watched as their only daughter was put into an induced coma to save her life. With honesty and passion, Didion explores this intensely personal yet universal experience. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
