Description
Eve Babitz's memoir is a vivid portrayal of 1960s and '70s Los Angeles, where the lines between reality and fantasy blur. Through ten sun-baked sketches, Babitz recreates a city of movie stars, socialites, and soap-opera actors, each struggling with their own brand of success and disillusionment. With a keen eye for detail, she captures the essence of a bygone era, from the glamour of the Chateau Marmont to the quiet suburbs of Orange County.
