A ruthless and unflinching examination of American life in the late
1960s, from the author of The Year of Magical Thinking.
One thing in my defence, not that it matters: I know what ‘nothing’
means, and keep on playing
Somewhere out beyond Hollywood, hollowed-out actress Maria Wyeth’s life
plays out in a numbing routine of perpetual freeway driving. In her
early thirties, divorced from her husband, dislocated from friends,
anesthetized to pain and pleasure, Wheth is a woman who has run out of
both desires and motives – the epitome of a generation made ill by too
much freedom.
More than five decades after its original publication, Play it as it
Lays remains 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.
