[QUOTE="dashcat, post: 503454, member: 9175"] Steely, Magical thinking only deals peripherally with her daughter's illness. Mental Illness and substance abuse are not addressed until Blue Nights, and then only slightly. I agree with Lourdes that they should be read in that order and also with her observations about Didion's aging. Repetition has always been a hallmark of Didion's prose, but it is a bit over the top in Blue Nights... Magical Thinking is breathtaking in how it articulates the language of loss. [/QUOTE]
