by Joan Didion

One evening at the dining table, after visiting their comatose daughter in the hospital, Joan Didion’s husband had a heart attack and died. Adapted by the author from her best-selling memoir, this clear-eyed examination of shock and grief shares one woman’s attempt to make sense of a time when nothing makes sense.
