I read this book by Joan Didion some time ago. It deals with a difficult topic--the author's coming to terms with life after the sudden death of her husband. The two were unusually close--both writers who spent a good part of each day in each other's company. It's one of those books that's stayed with me for a long time.
The book was made into a play and ran in New York for some time--with the lead played by Vanessa Redgrave (how can you go wrong there!). It's now coming to Seattle. It will be produced by Intiman Theater with a run from August 21-September 20. I think it would be fun to read this book and see the play together. Any takers?

I would be interested in reading how this author handles such a topic, as well as how the subject is adapted to a play. I think we should try to go in September so that any late vacationers can join us.
