A ruthless dissection of American life in the late 1960s, Play It as It Lays captures the mood of an entire generation, the ennui of contemporary society reflected in spare prose that blisters and haunts the reader. Set in a place beyond good and evil - literally in Hollywood, Las Vegas, and the barren wastes of the Mojave Desert, but figuratively in the landscape of an arid soul - it remains more than three decades after its original publication a profoundly disturbing novel, riveting in its exploration of a woman and a society in crisis and stunning in the still-startling intensity of its prose.

Janvier 1946. Londres se relève douloureusement des drames de la Seconde Guerre mondiale et Juliet, jeune écrivaine anglaise, est à la recherche du sujet de son prochain roman. Comment pourrait-elle imaginer que la lettre d'un inconnu, un natif de l'île de Guernesey, va le lui fournir ? Au fil de ses échanges avec son nouveau correspondant, Juliet pénètre son monde et celui de ses amis - un monde insoupçonné, délicieusement excentrique. Celui d'un club de lecture créé pendant la guerre pour échapper aux foudres d'une patrouille allemande un soir où, bravant le couvre-feu, ses membres venaient de déguster un cochon grillé (et une tourte aux épluchures de patates...), délices bien évidemment strictement prohibés par l'occupant. Jamais à court d'imagination, le Cercle littéraire des amateurs d'épluchures de patates déborde de charme, de drôlerie, de tendresse, d'humanité, Juliet est conquise. Peu à peu, elle élargit sa correspondance avec plusieurs membres du Cercle et même d'autres habitants de Guernesey, découvrant l'histoire de l'île, les goûts (littéraires et autres) de chacun, l'impact de l'Occupation allemande sur leurs vies... Jusqu'au jour où elle comprend qu'elle tient avec le Cercle le sujet de son prochain roman. Alors elle répond à l'invitation chaleureuse de ses nouveaux amis et se rend à Guernesey. Ce qu'elle va trouver là-bas changera sa vie à jamais.

A memoir about growing up Korean American, losing her mother, and forging her own identity. Michelle Zauner tells of growing up one of the few Asian American kids at her school in Eugene, Oregon; of struggling with her mother’s particular, high expectations of her; of a painful adolescence; of treasured months spent in her grandmother’s tiny apartment in Seoul, where she and her mother would bond, late at night, over heaping plates of food. As she grew up, moving to the East Coast for college, finding work in the restaurant industry, and performing gigs with her fledgling band—and meeting the man who would become her husband—her Koreanness began to feel ever more distant, even as she found the life she wanted to live. It was her mother’s diagnosis of terminal cancer, when Michelle was twenty-five, that forced a reckoning with her identity and brought her to reclaim the gifts of taste, language, and history her mother had given her.

Growing up in the suburban hell of Misery Saga (a.k.a. Mississauga), Lizzie has never liked the way she looks—even though her best friend Mel says she’s the pretty one. She starts dating guys online, but she’s afraid to send pictures, even when her skinny friend China does her makeup: she knows no one would want her if they could really see her. So she starts to lose. With punishing drive, she counts almonds consumed, miles logged, pounds dropped. She fights her way into coveted dresses. She grows up and gets thin, navigating double-edged validation from her mother, her friends, her husband, her reflection in the mirror. But no matter how much she loses, will she ever see herself as anything other than a fat girl? In her brilliant, hilarious, and at times shocking debut, Mona Awad simultaneously skewers the body image-obsessed culture that tells women they have no value outside their physical appearance, and delivers a tender and moving depiction of a lovably difficult young woman whose life is hijacked by her struggle to conform. As caustically funny as it is heartbreaking, 13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl introduces a vital new voice in fiction.
