Description
A legendary love letter to Los Angeles by the city''s most charming daughter, complete with portraits of rock stars at Chateau Marmont, surfers in Santa Monica, prostitutes on sunset, and Eve''s own beloved cat, Rosie. Journalist, party girl, bookworm, artist, muse: by the time shed hit thirty, Eve Babitz had played all of these roles. Immortalized as the nude beauty facing down Duchamp and as one of Ed Ruschas Five 1965 Girlfriends, Babitzs first book showed her to be a razor-sharp writer with tales of her own. Eves Hollywood is an album of vivid snapshots of Southern Californias haute bohemians, of outrageously beautiful high-school ingenues and enviably tattooed Chicanas, of rock stars sleeping it off at the Chateau Marmont. And though Babitzs prose might appear careening, shes in control as she takes us on a ride through an LA of perpetual delight, from a joint serving the perfect taquito, to the corner of La Brea and Sunset where we make eye contact with a roller-skating hooker, to the Watts Towers. This daughter of the wasteland is here to show us that her city is no wasteland at all but a glowing landscape of swaying fruit trees and blooming bougainvillea, buffeted by earthquakes and the Santa Ana windsand every bit as seductive as she is.
