Joan Didion

Après avoir érigé un inoubliable tombeau littéraire à l'homme de sa vie ( L'Année de la pensée magique ), Joan Didion adresse, dans Le Bleu de la nuit , un vibrant hommage à leur fille, décédée quelques semaines à peine avant la parution de la Pensée magique aux États-Unis.

Joan Didion s'apprête à dîner avec son mari, l'écrivain John Gregory Dunne, quand ce dernier s'écroule, victime d'une crise cardiaque foudroyante. Pendant une année entière, elle essaie de se résigner à la mort de son compagnon et de s'occuper de leur fille, gravement malade.

Pendant plusieurs mois, Didion consigne leurs échanges avec une minutie remarquable. Les premières séances abordent des thèmes tels que l'alcoolisme, l'adoption, la dépression, l'anxiété, la culpabilité, et la relation complexe, parfois douloureuse, qu'elle entretient avec sa fille, Quintana.
