Kaia Gerber wears cast on dislocated wrist as she reads Joan Didion by the pool

Kaia Gerber fired up her Instagram this Sunday to post a smoldering bikini snap of herself in the pool reading Play It As It Lays by Joan Didion.

The 18-year-old daughter of Cindy Crawford dislocated her wrist this week and could be seen wearing her long blue cast.

She revealed in her caption that when she does an Instagram livestream about Play It As It Lays next week she will be joined by fellow model Emily Ratajkowski.

Her Instagram album showed Joan posing against her yellow Cadillac Stingray in a 1970 picture Julian Wasser took for Time magazine.

That photograph was taken the year Play It As It Lays was published, seven years after Joan made her literary debut with the novel Run, River. 

Kaia wrote: ‘for book club this week we’re doing play it as it lays by joan didion! found the perfect book stand and couldn’t put it down.’

The teen model shared: ‘i have already started another book by her’ although she did not reveal what her selection was.

She added: ‘there will be SO much to talk about on friday with a very special guest who advocates for us women with such passion @emrata !! go read the book, bring questions, and we will see you friday at 5pm PST.’

Her previous book club guest was none other than Cindy herself, who joined her to chat about the 2018 novel Where The Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens. 

Kaia announced her injury Saturday by posing on Instagram in a bikini and a cast, telling fans she ‘had a little accident but i’m okay!’

Her picture was part of an Instagram album with an X-Ray photo indicating that she had dislocated her wrist.

Early in lockdown Emily shared the books she was keeping busy with including All About Love: New Visions by bell hooks and This Life by Martin Hagglund.

She recently told British GQ that ‘one of the main things I’ve been doing’ in lockdown is writing her own ‘book of essays.’

‘I’d say it’s like a memoir, but with added political thinking. I’m trying to use my experience as a model and someone who has capitalized on their image and also someone who has been maybe a victim of their image. It’s complicated,’ she said.

She tweeted this Sunday that she has been poring through Alexander Chee, who has written a book called How To Write An Autobiographical Novel among others.

Emily wrote on social media that she was  ‘hoping I can soak up his voice and his weaving of mangoes and class and boyhood and outsiderness in order to maybe, one day, if I’m lucky, write something half as good.’

She is currently self-isolating in Los Angeles with her hunky producer husband Sebastian Bear-McClard and their dog Colombo.

Although they were initially hunkering down in New York City, the American epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic, they flew to Los Angeles on April 15.

The Centers For Disease Control And Prevention issued an advisory on March 28 asking ‘residents of New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut to refrain from non-essential domestic travel for 14 days effective immediately.’

While isolating amid the pandemic Kaia has managed to get in time with pals like Tommy Dorfman, Ashley Benson, Cara Delevingne and Margaret Qualley.
