When Joan Didion started seeing a psychiatrist in late 1999 due to what she had described as a rough few years for her family, she also started writing about the sessions in a journal to share with her husband, John Gregory Dunne, and the resulting correspondence has now been published under the title: Notes to John.
Crafted with the singular intelligence, precision, and elegance that characterize all of her writing, Notes to John is an unprecedently intimate account that reveals sides of her that were previously unknown as she discusses topics such as alcoholism, adoption, depression, anxiety, guilt, and the heartbreaking complexities of intimate relationships.
"What an experience it is, watching Didion beat back tragedy with her brilliant mind." -- The Telegraph
