One of this country’s great literary voices, Eve Babitz, recently provided us with a list of her favorite books, albums, and films, which you can find below. Babitz’s work has seen a resurgence in recent years with the re-publishing of her novels/fictive memoirs Eve’s Hollywood; Slow Days, Fast Company; Sex and Rage: Advice to Young Ladies Eager for a Good Time; and Black Swans (to stellar reviews). Her books have also inspired a growing contingent of young fans drawn to her chronicles of the Los Angeles party and drug scene of the 70s and 80s (See LA Weekly’s May 30 Article: Why Millennials Have A #GirlCrush on Iconic L.A. Writer and “It Girl” Eve Babitz). Hulu is currently developing a coming-of-age comedy series – LA Woman – based on Babitz’s novels.
