Play It As It Lays
by Joan Didion
read: 2013
Time 100 Novels, Guardian 1000 Novels
I devoured this in two days. It's a very quick read, but it's also one of the most depressing novels I've ever read. Didion's prose, Like Flannery O'Connor's, is brutal. It's the sort of book you want to lend to someone after reading, but you're not sure if it's because you think they'd like it or because misery loves company.
