New York: Knopf. 2011. Hardcover. First edition, first printing. A fine book in a fine dust jacket. The book is a memoir about the death of Didion's daughter, Quintana, in 2005. Wrote critic Cathleen Schine: "We tell ourselves stories in order to live,' Didion famously wrote in The White Album. Blue Nights is about what happens when there are no more stories we can tell ourselves, no narrative to guide us and make sense out of the chaos, no order, no meaning, no conclusion to the tale." Signed by the author on the title page. More
