Play It as It Lays

“fuck you, duh. It’s a classic for a reason. Just finished my annual read for my birthday and for my birthday you have to read it too so there.”

“amazing summer read. her writing is so sharp”

““When I was ten years old my father taught me to assess quite rapidly the shifting probabilities on a craps layout: I could trace a layout in my sleep, the field here and the pass line all around, even money on Big Six or Eight, five-for-one on Any Seven. Always when I play back my father's voice it is with a professional rasp, it goes as it lays, don't do it the hard way. My father advised me that life itself was a crap game: it was one of the two lessons I learned as a child. The other was that overturning a rock was apt to reveal a rattle-snake. As lessons go those two seem to hold up, but not to apply.” The meanest, saddest book I’ve ever read, I NEED Sofia Coppola to remake this movie!!”

“read in april. my first novel by her and it captivated me from the start. listened to heaven or las vegas by cocteau twins while reading”
