The Year of Magical Thinking

Reception

The New York Times Book Review praised the memoir as "not a downer. On the contrary. Though the material is literally terrible, the writing is exhilarating and what unfolds resembles an adventure narrative."[10] The New York Review of Books declared, "I can't imagine dying without this book."[11] The American Prospect's mixed review found that the book read "like a Warren Report on the death of LBJ."[12] In 2019, the book was ranked 40th on The Guardian's list of the 100 best books of the 21st century.[13]
