How did she come up with the title [Blue Nights]? ‘I really don’t know,’ she says. ‘A couple of years ago… a movie… did you happen to see it… about Virginia Woolf?’ (The movie is The Hours, adapted from the book of the same name by Michael Cunningham.) ‘Just the part where she was in the water was stuck in my mind. That was the gloaming.’
Joan Didion, in a September 30th Publishers Weekly article about her new book, Blue Nights. Love seeing one of my favorite authors mention another favorite author.
