Play It As It Lays
A profoundly disturbing novel that ruthlessly dissects American life in the late 1960s, from the author of The White Album and The Year of Magical Thinking.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Play It As It Lays is described as a nearly perfect novel that is both heartbreaking and inescapable, written with sharp and precise prose. Didion's lucidity is compared to the bright, sometimes painful Los Angeles sunlight, and the book has been revealed as a favourite modern American novel by other renowned authors.
