À propos de ce produit

Product Information

A ruthless dissection of American life in the late 1960s, Joan Didion's Play It as It Lays captures the mood of an entire generation, the ennui of contemporary society reflected in spare prose that blisters and haunts the reader. Set in a place beyond good and evil---literally in Hollywood, Las Vegas, and the barren wastes of the Mojave Desert, but figuratively in the landscape of an arid soul---it remains more than three decades after its original publication a profoundly disturbing novel, riveting in its exploration of a woman and a society in crisis and stunning in the still-startling intensity of its prose.

Avis les plus pertinents

  • A tough story about the ugly side of tinsel town.

    A great read by the fabulous Joan Didion. This story is a tough and honest view of late 60’s early 70’s Hollywood and an America whose dream of glamor and grandeur has been overplayed and bled dry.

  • half-century-old ode

    It's a classic, relatable through many years. Recent work of pseudo-historical fiction written in the wrong time about the time that cemented it that way, or a half-century-old ode to the era it already was. The setting doesn't matter, the framing doesn't matter. Give me writing that's glossy or gross or both, a protagonist who's making it or faking it, background characters who get it or don't or don't want to. I love it all.
