By Joan Didion. Anaesthetized to pain and pleasure, she is seemingly unaffected by her fraught personal history. It has sold over 100,000 copies in the UK to date. Her writing crosses genres deftly and imaginatively and is brave in its exploration of both intensely personal yet universal issues.

About this product

Product Information

A profoundly disturbing novel that ruthlessly dissects American life in the late 1960s, from the author of The White Album and The Year of Magical Thinking. Benny called for a round of Cuba Libres and I gave him some chips to play for me and went to the ladies' room and never came back. Somewhere out beyond Hollywood, hollowed-out actress Maria Wyeth's life plays out in a numbing routine of perpetual freeway driving. In her early thirties, divorced from her husband, dislocated from friends, anesthetized to pain and please, Wheth is a woman who has run out of both desires and motives - the epitome of a generation made ill by too much freedom.
