Didion, Joan The Last Thing He Wanted New York Alfred A. Knopf; A Borzoi Book 1996 0679433317 / 9780679433316 First Trade Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine Collectible 227 pp.; 22 cm. Tight, clean copy. Stated "First Trade Edition." Dust jacket protected in a mylar book cover. "This intricate, fast-paced story, whose many scenes and details fit together like so many pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, is Didion's incisive and chilling look at a modern world where things are not working as they should and where the oblique and official language is as sinister as the events it is covering up. The narrator introduces Elena McMahon, estranged from a life of celebrity fundraisers and from her powerful West Coast husband, Wynn Janklow, whom she has left, taking Catherine, her daughter, to become a reporter for The Washington Post. Suddenly walking off the 1984 campaign, she finds herself boarding a plane for Florida to see her father, Dick McMahon. She becomes embroiled in her Dick's business though 'she had trained herself since childhood not to have any interest in what he was doing.' It is from this moment that she is caught up in something much larger than she could have imagined, something that includes Ambassador-at-Large Treat Austin Morrison and Alexander Brokaw, the ambassador to an unnamed Caribbean island. Into this startling vision of conspiracies, arms dealing, and assassinations, Didion makes connections among Dallas, Iran-Contra, and Castro, and points up how 'spectral companies with high-concept names tended to interlock.' As this book builds to its terrifying finish, we see the underpinnings of a dark historical underbelly. This is our system, the one 'trying to create a context for democracy and getting [its] hands a little dirty in the process.' / Joan Didion was born in Sacramento, California. She has written four previous novels, five nonfiction books, and frequently contributes to The New York Review of Books and The New Yorker." - Publisher. Price:

Didion, Joan The Year of Magical Thinking New York Alfred A. Knopf; A Borzoi Book 2005 140004314X / 9781400043149 Hard Cover Fine Fine 227 pp.; 21 cm. AS NEW. Fine DJ. "From one of America's iconic writers, a stunning book of electric honesty and passion. Joan Didion explores an intensely personal yet universal experience: a portrait of a marriage - and a life, in good times and bad - that will speak to anyone who has ever loved a husband or wife or child. Several days before Christmas 2003, John Gregory Dunne and Joan Didion saw their only daughter, Quintana, fall ill with what seemed at first flu, then pneumonia, then complete septic shock. She was put into an induced coma and placed on life support. Days later - the night before New Year's Eve - the Dunnes were just sitting down to dinner after visiting the hospital when John Gregory Dunne suffered a massive and fatal coronary. In a second, this close, symbiotic partnership of forty years was over. Four weeks later, their daughter pulled through. Two months after that, arriving at LAX, she collapsed and underwent six hours of brain surgery at UCLA Medical Center to relieve a massive hematoma. This powerful book is Didion's attempt to make sense of the 'weeks and then months that cut loose any fixed idea I ever had about death, about illness...about marriage and children and memory...about the shallowness of sanity, about life itself.' / Joan Didion was born in California and lives in New York City. She is the author of five novels and seven previous books of nonfiction." - Publisher. Price:
