While her daughter lay in a coma, Joan Didion unexpectedly lost her husband of forty years to a heart attack. The book she's written about the year of mourning that followed is a poignant and resonant account of how she tried to make sense of her unimaginable loss.
Joan Didion talks with host Mike Cuthbert about her book The Year of Magical Thinking, a winner of the 2005 National Book Award for Nonfiction.
