Insights from Chapter 1
#1
The word ordinary never left my mind, because I realized that there was no forgetting it: the word was in fact the ordinary nature of everything preceding the event. I knew that the story had come from me because no version I heard included the details I couldn’t yet face.
#2
I am a writer, and I have a sense that meaning is resident in the rhythms of words and sentences. I needed to find meaning in the death of my husband, John Gregory Dunne, nine months and five days ago.
Insights from Chapter 2
#1
On December 30, 2003, a Tuesday, we had seen Quintana in the sixth-floor ICU at Beth Israel North. We had come home. We had discussed whether to go out for dinner or eat in. I had built a fire, and we could eat in. I had no idea which subject John was on: the Scotch or World War One. When he stopped talking, I thought he had choked.
#2
I called one of the numbers for the paramedics, and when they arrived, they transformed the part of the living room where John lay into an emergency department.
