Stark dissection of ennui in '60s American life.

If you're drawn to the haunting precision of language and unflinching explorations of human disconnection, "Play It as It Lays" can strike a deep chord. Didion's style cuts to the bone, sparing no one in its depiction of emptiness and disaffection amidst the American dream. It's a powerful, if bleak, lens on the era's zeitgeist, something that can stay with you long after you turn the last page.

Description

A ruthless dissection of American life in the late 1960s, 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.
