is said that the pain of losing a family member is a pain that cannot be compared to anything else.\u003cbr\u003e Moreover, the sorrow of losing someone who has always been with you in your daily life will be a pain so great that it cannot be expressed in words.\u003cbr\u003e Those who have not experienced that pain firsthand will not be able to truly understand it. \u003cbr\u003eHow great the pain is, how seriously it will affect the rest of your life.\u003cbr\u003e But the grief of losing a family member is a pain that everyone must experience.\u003cbr\u003e Pain that no one can avoid, pain that no one has experienced yet but will experience someday.\u003cbr\u003e The pain, sorrow, and grief that was foretold.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Joan Didion, who was respected by countless writers to the point that it would be no exaggeration to call her a writer's writer, had a significant impact on society through her novels, essays, columns, and other writings.\u003cbr\u003e Her masterpiece, The Year of Magical Thinking, is a record of the year she spent writing after losing her husband, John Gregory Dunn.\u003cbr\u003e She wrote about her grief over the loss of her husband in her own unique language, plainly and vividly.\u003cbr\u003e For this work, Joan Didion won the National Book Award.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Joan Didion lost her husband on December 30, 2003. \u003cbr\u003eHe died suddenly of a heart attack after returning from visiting his daughter Quintana, who had contracted sepsis after her flu worsened.\u003cbr\u003e Joan Didion, the guardian who seemed to be handling the situation more calmly than anyone else, was actually enduring the reality with magical thinking.\u003cbr\u003e The hope that her husband could be brought back to life, that he might come back alive.\u003cbr\u003e Even her daughter, who seemed to be recovering from illness, is bedridden again.\u003cbr\u003e As sudden and unforeseen as her husband's death.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e She constantly tries not to lose herself.\u003cbr\u003e I try to look at my situation and condition objectively and analytically, and I try hard not to get caught up in the waves of emotions that come my way.\u003cbr\u003e We struggle to survive without collapsing, without even trying to escape from the magical thinking that never goes away. \u003cbr\u003eAnyone who watches it can only feel sad and heartbroken.\u003cbr\u003e Readers who admired her will inevitably feel even greater regret at having to witness the weakness of a writer with such cool-headedness, analysis, and keen insight.\u003cbr\u003e But also, seeing the attitude of a writer who does not lose his unique sharpness even in his own perspective, naturally a sense of respect wells up.\u003cbr\u003e Her deep thoughts on life and death, along with his, give us a chance to reflect on life.\u003cbr\u003e Readers will find themselves captivated by the special charm of Joan Didion's writing.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e You can preview some of the book's contents.\u003cbr\u003e

like a fit, causing a sudden anxiety that leaves you weak at the knees, blinds you, and obscures your daily life.\u003cbr\u003e Almost everyone who has experienced grief through the loss of a loved one says they have experienced this 'wave' phenomenon.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.40\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I could accept an 'autopsy', but I haven't thought about an 'obituary' yet.\u003cbr\u003e An 'autopsy' was something between me, John, and the hospital, but an 'obituary' meant that it really happened.\u003cbr\u003e I never found it logically absurd to wonder if that could have happened in Los Angeles.\u003cbr\u003e I was calculating what time John died and whether it was the same time in Los Angeles.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.44\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"You're safe now,\" I whispered to Quintana when I first saw him in the UCLA intensive care unit.\u003cbr\u003e Mom is here.\u003cbr\u003e It'll be okay now. \u003cbr\u003eHalf of Quintana's head was shaved short because of surgery.\u003cbr\u003e A long incision was visible, along with metal staples used to close the incision.\u003cbr\u003e Quintana was breathing through an endotracheal tube.\u003cbr\u003e Mom is here.\u003cbr\u003e It'll be okay now.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.131\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Until then, I had only been sad, but not able to mourn.\u003cbr\u003e The sorrow was passive.\u003cbr\u003e The sorrow arose spontaneously.\u003cbr\u003e However, mourning, the act of dealing with grief, could require focused attention.\u003cbr\u003e Until now, there has been an urgent need to distract ourselves from what we should be paying attention to, to push our thoughts away, and to recharge our adrenaline to get us through the day-to-day crises.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.192~193\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Sorrow was a place that no one knew until they got there.\u003cbr\u003e We anticipate (and know) that someone close to us may die, but we don't think about what life will be like in the days or weeks immediately following that imagined death. \u003cbr\u003eIn fact, those few days or weeks were different from what I thought.\u003cbr\u003e When death comes suddenly, we expect to be shocked, but we do not know that this shock will completely destroy our bodies and minds and leave us in disarray.\u003cbr\u003e I expect you to feel exhausted, sad, and like you're going crazy.\u003cbr\u003e We don't actually expect to go crazy.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e We are imperfect and finite beings, and we cannot help but be aware of our finitude, even if we try to ignore it.\u003cbr\u003e Because we are complex beings.\u003cbr\u003e When we grieve loss, we are wired to mourn ourselves, whether we like it or not.\u003cbr\u003e Our previous appearance.\u003cbr\u003e Now, I can't go back to myself.\u003cbr\u003e An existence that will one day disappear forever.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.261\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When I was proofreading my writing, I was shocked and shaken by how many mistakes I had made.\u003cbr\u003e They were simple mistakes, like copying something wrong or putting a name or date wrong. \u003cbr\u003eI tried to convince myself that it was just a temporary phenomenon, a case of cognitive impairment due to reduced motor skills and stress or grief, but I still felt uneasy.\u003cbr\u003e Will I ever be normal again? Will I ever be able to believe I'm not wrong again? Why do you always have to be right? John had said.\u003cbr\u003e Can't you consider the possibility that you might be wrong?\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e ---

Joan Didion's masterpiece, \"Loss\"\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The titles “writer’s writer” and “writer respected by writers” are probably the most honorable titles a writer can receive.\u003cbr\u003e And changing society through writing and actively leading the public will is not something that just anyone, no matter how famous, can do.\u003cbr\u003e Joan Didion was just that kind of writer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAs a journalist, she was one of the pioneers of New Journalism in the 1960s.\u003cbr\u003e Through new journalism, he created a trend of journalism that went beyond the simple listing of facts as a reporter and actively expressed opinions and subjectivity.\u003cbr\u003e Although New Journalism has now faded, it is clear that she elevated the role of reporter to that of a writer who leads the change of the times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As a writer, she has been creative in various fields, writing several novels, non-fiction, and screenplays.\u003cbr\u003e The author used a unique and highly polished writing style that even the author wanted to imitate.\u003cbr\u003e Not only did she have a readership that devoured her writing, but there was also a public that admired her lifestyle.\u003cbr\u003e There was a group of women who followed not only her fashion but also her way of life.\u003cbr\u003e The term 'icon of American literature' also describes her. \u003cbr\u003eAnother adjective that Penguin Random House, her publisher, used when announcing Joan Didion's death in 2021 is also the one that best describes her as a writer.\u003cbr\u003e 'America's most astute writer and observer.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Joan Didion's works have largely remained unknown to domestic readers.\u003cbr\u003e However, as the Netflix documentary about Joan Didion's life was released and celebrities began recommending her work, her name gradually became known, and more people began seeking out her work.\u003cbr\u003e In particular, the title “Loss” will be familiar to many readers.\u003cbr\u003e When it was first published in Korea in 2006, readers and celebrities who had read it first recommended this work among Joan Didion's works, and word of mouth spread to readers who had not yet encountered it.\u003cbr\u003e Since this book went out of print, many readers have sought it out. \u003cbr\u003eSo at one point, the used price rose to more than ten times the original publication price.\u003cbr\u003e Many readers have been waiting for the re-publication of 『Loss』.\u003cbr\u003e Now, we can present it to our readers with a new translation and design.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Joan Didion's masterpiece, Loss, was selected as the book of the year by the New York Times at the time of its publication and won the National Book Award in 2005.\u003cbr\u003e She also received the National Humanity Medal in 2013.\u003cbr\u003e By republishing this work, I hope that the great writer Joan Didion will become known to more Korean readers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eThe pain of losing a family member\u003cbr\u003e Struggling to overcome\u003cbr\u003e A record of a year's journey\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"Loss\" is an essay written by Joan Didion about a year after the sudden death of her husband, John Gregory Dunn. \u003cbr\u003eShe wrote about the painful days she had to endure due to separation from her lover in a relatively calm manner.\u003cbr\u003e But in reality, that calmness is just one aspect of her that she shows to hold on and not lose herself.\u003cbr\u003e She is tormented by the constant reminders of her husband, whether a single word or a single place, and she is compelled to unfold her thoughts, unfiltered and unfiltered, to the reader.\u003cbr\u003e And she reveals that she was obsessed with the thought that her husband would return at that time.\u003cbr\u003e She describes the unrealistic thoughts she harbors as “magical thinking.”\u003cbr\u003e She herself tries to objectively analyze this unstable mental state based on various literature and materials.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The arrow of that sharp analysis is pointed right at oneself, so the viewer can only look on with a pitying heart. \u003cbr\u003eIn doing so, he candidly reveals the abnormal aspects of his thoughts at the time and his human weaknesses.\u003cbr\u003e We also try to analyze the emotion called 'sorrow' that appears as the pain of losing a family member.\u003cbr\u003e The reader will come to realize that even the effort to objectify these emotions and the phenomena they cause is a struggle to not lose oneself.\u003cbr\u003e Anyone who watches such an attempt at objective analysis can only shed tears at how desperate it appears.\u003cbr\u003e Rather than expressing her overwhelming emotions, the extent of her pain is more vividly felt in the way she tries to maintain the appearance of a 'calm customer'.\u003cbr\u003e The emotions she felt are conveyed in waves, touching the depths of the reader's heart.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAs readers watch the author, who is unable to escape the constant recurring memories of her husband and the bizarre thoughts that can be described as abnormal, they will empathize with the author's feelings and even feel a sense of heartbreak.\u003cbr\u003e What is most heartbreaking is her cries, unwilling to end the time she had to spend in that confusing and painful emotion.\u003cbr\u003e She is distressed by the fact that her painful wounds do not heal, but rather she becomes increasingly numb to the pain over time.\u003cbr\u003e Breaking free from that magical thinking, he is tormented by the thought of forgetting his loved one.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Joan Didion also lost her daughter around the time this book was first published.\u003cbr\u003e The daughter, who had fallen ill with the flu before her husband passed away, seemed to be recovering, but was taken to the hospital again and passed away. \u003cbr\u003eThose who have not experienced the pain of losing a family member cannot truly know or understand the feeling.\u003cbr\u003e It would be a feeling that cannot be expressed simply with words like 'sorrow' or 'sorrow'.\u003cbr\u003e However, through this work, we can think about what it would be like when such a moment comes.\u003cbr\u003e Ultimately, we will be able to understand, even if only a little,
