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.
