L.A. Woman

Eve Babitz is a writer like no other-she "is to prose what Chet Baker is to jazz" (Vanity Fair) - and she has influenced a generation of writers and readers with her sophisticated, witty, and delightful work. L.A. Woman is quintessential Babitz, the story of Sophie, a twenty-something blonde Jim Morrison groupie gliding through a golden existence in L.A. and Lola, a German immigrant who settles in Hollywood in the twenties to drive Pierce Arrows recklessly down Sunset Boulevard and who knows that Maybelline mascara cakes and Rudolph Valentino are the essence of life.

Eve Babitz este o scriitoare ca nimeni altcineva - ea „este de a prosa ceea ce este Chet Baker pentru jazz” (Vanity Fair) - si a influentat o generatie de scriitori si cititori cu munca ei sofisticata, inteleapta si incantatoare. LA
