The Year of Magical Thinking Zusammenfassung

The Year of Magical Thinking: A Play by Joan Didion based on her Memoir Joan Didion

'This happened on December 30, 2003. That may seem a while ago but it won't when it happens to you...'

In this adaptation of her award-winning, bestselling memoir, Joan Didion transforms the story of the sudden and unexpected loss of her husband and their only daughter into a stunning and powerful one-woman play.

The first production of 'The Year of Magical Thinking', starring Vanessa Redgrave and directed by David Hare, was a runaway hit on Broadway in 2007. The same production is transferring to the National Theatre from April to July 2008.

The Year of Magical Thinking Bewertungen

Reviews for the memoir:

'It is the most awesome performance of both participating in, and watching, an event. Even though Didion does not allow herself to break down, only a terribly controlled reader will resist doing the same.' Independent

'Ultimately, and unexpectedly for a book about illness and death, this is a wonderfully life affirming book.' Observer

'Searing, informative and affecting. Don't leave life without it.' Financial Times

'This is a beautiful and devastating book by one of the finest writers we have. Didion has always been a precise, humane and meticulously truthful writer, but on the subject of death she becomes essential.' Zadie Smith

'Taking the reader to places where they would not otherwise go is one of the things a really good book can do. The Year of Magical Thinking does just that, and brilliantly. Powerful, moving and true.' Spectator

'A great book, a great work. Angular, exact, pressured and tough, precise as a diamond drill bit.' Nick Laird
