Eve Babitz captured the voluptuous quality of LA in the 1960s in a wildly original, totally unique voice. These stories are time capsule gems, as poignant and startling today as they were when published in the early 1970s. Eve Babitz is not well known today, but she should be. Her firsthand experiences in the LA cultural scene, translated into haunting fiction, are an unforgettable glimpse at a lost world and a magical time.

Excellent narration , wonderful stories and fantastic observations. At times , I felt like I was lazily driving to the ocean with sunglasses on and wondering what colors the sunset would be.

the narrator ruined it for me it’s a shame. I wanted to listen to more eve babitz books but somehow this lady narrates all of them?

Awful narrator

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The story itself is disjointed and uninteresting. The narrator has a strange cadence, as though each sentence has a secret ending. It’s not great, mostly annoying.

Weird narrative cadence
