L.A. Woman
By Eve Babitz
From Eve Babitz, the celebrated author of Slow Days, Fast Company and Eve’s Hollywood and one of the defining literary voices of Los Angeles, comes L.A. Woman, a seductive novel about women, desire, and reinvention in Southern California.
Eve Babitz “is to prose what Chet Baker is to jazz” (Vanity Fair), and L.A. Woman is quintessential Babitz: sophisticated, seductive, funny, and unmistakably Los Angeles.
At its center are Sophie, a twenty-something blonde and former Jim Morrison groupie drifting through contemporary L.A., and Lola, a German immigrant who arrives in Hollywood in the 1920s and tears down Sunset Boulevard in a Pierce Arrow. Through their stories, and those of the women around them, Babitz captures a Los Angeles of high culture and low, youth and desire.
