Play It as It Lays
by Joan Didion
Bleak, perplexing, and hazy prose. The style of this novel was very disorienting and vague, but I think the implications of her depression are best told this way, like her time blindness, impulsiveness, and social disconnection. It leaves room for interpretation, even though I was a fiend for more context for nearly half the book. D:
To understand the plot and characters better, I was reading chapter analysis's whenever I got confused. I don’t really feel as though it was a depressing read, it was more raw and heavy, but also a quick read and poignant. 4 stars!
