In November 1999, writer Joan Didion started seeing Roger MacKinnon, a New York psychiatrist, on the recommendation of the psychiatrist who was treating her daughter Quintana for borderline personality disorder, depression, and alcoholism. Both doctors felt that the mother-daughter dynamic and powerful co-dependency were central to Quintana's problems.
After six appointments with Dr. MacKinnon, Didion began writing detailed reports of her sessions, which she addressed to her husband, John Gregory Dunne. These notes, which span just over two years, were found in a portable filing cabinet in her home office after her death in December 2025.
Published as Notes to John — and adorned by Annie Leibovitz's striking jacket photograph of Didion, frail but tenacious, at her desk with the rolling filing cabinet behind her — the book is an intimate chronicle of the author's struggle to help her daughter, even if it meant digging into her own long-unexamined neuroses. Written with her signature precision though without her usual stylistic, incantatory repetitions, it is the least guarded of Didion's writing.
