(First Edition, Signed Bookplate) Following her brilliant, National Book Award–winning memoir The Year of Magical Thinking, about her late husband John Gregory Dunne, Joan Didion returns with this new memoir about her daughter Quintana Roo Dunne, who died at age 39, just before that earlier book was published. It opens on July 26, 2010, as Didion thinks back to Quintana's wedding in New York seven years before, and the anniversary triggers vivid snapshots of Quintana's childhood and their family life. Blue Nights—the long, light evening hours that signal the summer solstice, "the opposite of the dying of the brightness, but also its warning"—is a book of incisive and electric honesty. Daedalus is offering this haunting and profoundly moving book in a first edition with a bookplate signed by Didion.
