Play It As It Lays

Didion, Joan

Verlag: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, New York, 1970

Included in Time Magazine's "100 Best English-Language Novels from 1923-2005," the success of Play it As it Lays was influential in Didion's confidence to continue writing. "I didn't think it was going to make it [.] And suddenly it did make it, in a minor way. And from that time on I had more confidence." (Heti, "An Interview with Joan Didion"). The novel focuses on themes of nihilism in the mist of playing the game of life. The title draws its influence from the advice the main character receives from her father concerning craps: "it goes as it lays, don't do it the hard way." Cloth boards, faintly toned, still fine in near fine dust jacket, with very faint small tide mark lower edge and two short, closed tears, in mylar cover. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 220664
