Doch im Los Angeles der Sechzigerjahre verliert sie die Kontrolle über ihr eigenes Leben. Ihre geistig beeinträchtigte Tochter wird ihr weggenommen. Ihre zerrüttete Ehe ist nicht mehr zu retten, und ihre katastrophalen Liebesaffären und vermeintlichen Freundschaften bieten wenig Trost. Jeden Morgen um halb 10 Uhr steigt sie in ihr Auto und donnert über den Highway – auf der Überholspur und mit laut aufgedrehtem Radio, bis sich „irgendwo im Nirgendwo, wo der makellos brennende Beton einfach aufhört“ das Gefühl der Leere verflüchtigt.Play It As It Lays by Joan Didion ePub Download

Brief Summary Play It As It Lays by Joan Didion

Didion’s searing take on Hollywood is as unforgiving as the biz itself. Its vapidity is juxtaposed with the opulent rituals of its self-important players, and with the desperation of those who will only ever hope to play such a role. It dismantles the assumption that ‘the life’ is all luxurious leisure, gratifying glamour, and a promise of endless possibilities for a more finely lit tomorrow. When recalling the words of her gambling-addicted father in the opening monologue, a glimpse of reason is given as to what now compels her to open up like never before: “I was raised to believe that what came in on the next roll would always be better than what went out on the last. I no longer believe that, but I am telling you how it was.” This is a warning à la “The Emperor’s New Clothes;” the city is like a model whom photographers only shoot from a certain angle, but Maria has grown weary of false pretenses.
