"Brighton is a beautiful seaside city, but it's got a dark underbelly."

Previous Quote

This book is called "Blue Nights" because at the time I began it I found my mind turning increasingly to illness, to the end of promise, the dwindling of the days,the inevitability of the fading, the dying of the brightness. Blue nights are the opposite of the dying of the brightness, but they are also its warning.

— Joan Didion
