Inhaltsangabe

Play The Devil is the debut novel from Scott Laudati. A semi-autobiographical tale of two best friends traversing the backyards of New Jersey in search of the American Dream. Like a 200 page Bruce Springsteen song, Play The Devil is permeated by a sense of nostalgia and loss, of love and redemption, with images of old Americana littering the novel like scenes from a movie, it is an essential coming-of-age story for the next generation.

Welcome to post 9/11 America, where capitalism and apathy run rampant and men like Donald Trump can become president. In this world, the future often appears futile to millennials in their mid-twenties, stuck in that awkward, directionless stage between school and “real” life. Scott Laudati’s debut novel Play the Devil perfectly situates itself within these strange times. - Lara Robertson, Tharunka Magazine (AUS)

In his first novel, Play The Devil, Scott Laudati tackles the common coming-of-age story with a refreshing take on the classic cliché. If the idea of truth illuminated in harsh light, with a heavy dose of comedic tragedy appeals to you, pick up Play the Devil. - Sarah Joseph, The Voice (Athabasca University)

Scott Laudati's debut novel is simply poetic. It is a brilliant, comedic, adventure served with a slice of truth. - Tristan Sherlock, Dircksey Magazine (Edith Cowan University)
