About This Item
NY: Vintage, 2007. First edition. Softcover. Fine. Signed on the title page by Didion, and thus scarce. In about five years of watching, we have never seen another signed copy of this book on the market. This is the play she adapted from her National Book Award-winning memoir which opened starring Vanessa Redgrave at the Booth Theatre in New York in March 2007. A nice find for the Didion devotee. A fine paperback, slim at 67 pages, with perhaps a hint of toning to leaves; still fine.
Synopsis
The Year of Magical Thinking (2005), by Joan Didion (b. 1934), is an account of the year following the death of the author's husband John Gregory Dunne (1932–2003). Published by Knopf in October 2005, the book was immediately acclaimed as a classic in the genre of mourning literature. It won the National Book Award in November 2005 and was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award as well as the Pulitzer Prize for Biography/Autobiography.

About Rural Hours
Rural Hours (formerly Wood + River = Books, est. 2019) specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, environmental literature, and contemporary essay, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions. We draw our name from the popular-but-then-forgotten book by Susan Fenimore Cooper (published in 1850), generally considered the first work of environmental creative nonfiction by a woman in the U.S. We are interested in challenging and expanding the canon of environmental literature and finding books that tell remarkable stories and illuminate the tradition of writing about place and natural history.
