Review of 'Play It as It Lays' on 'Storygraph'

4 stars

Joan Didion’s writing is, as always, amazing. Spare, yet evocative. Straightforward, yet able to describe the complexities of being human.

With Harvey Weinstein and other’s behaviour finally coming to light, this book is worth reading now more than ever.

It’s Didion, so this isn’t a simple case of good versus evil, but it does give some idea of what it is like to live among the powerful men of Hollywood.
