Bookseller recommendation

“Eve Babitz captures the allure of L.A. in the 1960s with a series of literary essays that read as gossip columns (how scandalous). This short little novel is proactive, funny, and artistic, and shows the inherent privileges of being white and rich in L.A. There wasn't a single person it seems that was not completely enamored with Babitz and the side characters were so fleshed out as well (and honestly more likable than Babitz herself). Upon finishing this I felt like I too just took some quaaludes, partied hard, and seduced all of L.A. ”
— Anna • Underground Books

Summary

Eve Babitz captured the voluptuous quality of L.A. in the1960s in a wildly original, totally unique voice. These stories are time capsule gems, as poignant and startling today as they were when published in the early 1970s. Eve Babitz is not well known today, but she should be. Her first hand experiences in the L.A. cultural scene, translated into haunting fiction, are an unforgettable glimpse at a lost world and a magical time.
