― Joan Didion, Blue Nights.
The events are presented here as evidence of Quintana's specialness and fragility.The family was undoubtedly special, if only latterly fragile: the parents successful literary novelists and Hollywood screenwriters, the daughter "a beautiful baby girl" adopted from a couple in Tucson. Joan and John were struggling to have a child of their own, and Diana gave them the name of the doctor who had delivered her own adopted children.Quintana during her early years had a multitude of diagnoses for her anxiety and depression, which were all guesses at the time. 'On December 24, 2003, Quintana was admitted to the emergency room with flu-like symptoms.
Joan Didion is unmoored by loss.
Today would be her wedding anniversary. The result, however, is that that this new book reads like a coda to the first one.
The following version of this book was used to create this study guide: Didion, Joan.

(Donna Ward/Abaca Press/MCT) A little later she called 20th Century Fox to ask "what she needed to do to be a star." Richly textured with bits of her own childhood and married life with her husband, John Gregory Dunne, and daughter, Quintana Roo, this new book by Joan Didion examines her thoughts, fears, and doubts regarding having children, illness, and growing old.

Richly textured with bits of her own childhood and married life with her husband, John Gregory Dunne, and daughter, Quintana Roo, this new book by Joan Didion examines her thoughts, fears, and doubts regarding having children, illness, and growing old. The day is December 30, 2003. Richly textured with memories from her own childhood and married life with her husband, John Gregory Dunne, and daughter, Quintana Roo, this new book by Joan Didion is an intensely personal and moving account of her thoughts, fears, and doubts regarding having children, illness and growing old. She is a contributor to Quintana Roo Dunne takes in the ocean view with her parents, John Gregory Dunne and Joan Didion in Malibu in 1976. Quintana died after the book was finished but before it was published, and Didion (reasonably enough) declined to "unfinish" and rewrite it.
... gleaning the main ideas of a book via a quote or a quick summary is typical of the Information Age but is a habit disdained by some diehard readers. John and Joan sit down for dinner. "Blue Nights," of course, is profoundly moving: How could a memoir about the death of a daughter not be? Blue Nights, it must be said, is almost unbearably sad.As in 2005’s The Year of Magical Thinking, for which she won the National Book Award, Joan Didion here writes starkly about the death of a loved one.She also muses on her own failing health and her fears of growing old.
Quintana Roo fell ill in 2003, and her father had a fatal heart attack several days later.
