Eve Babitz

The most entertaining biography since Taylor and Burton memoir: 10 books to read next
The most entertaining biography since Roger Lewis’s Taylor and Burton memoir Erotic Vagrancy? Quite possibly. I certainly don’t think I have enjoyed any book this year as much as Anouk’s joint memoir of Los Angeles writers Joan Didion and Eve Babitz. It’s a gossipy, shocking, intimate, very funny and always smart take on the two writers. A very revealing one too. I wasn’t expecting to learn quite so much about Joan Didion’s sex life.
