4 // The level of vast detail which develops a potent and almost nostalgic atmosphere surrounding all that is L.A. is up to par with that of Baldwin’s thick Parisian atmosphere in « Giovanni’s Room ». This is my first but most certainty not my last Babitz. I hope she rests in peace.

Eve Babitz has a voice that instantly transports me into her world and perception of things, and it's magical

Okay so
1) This level of sharp yet carefree writing cuts me to my CORE because I just can’t comprehend how it’s possible to achieve in a lifetime
2) I loved watching Eve worship women. She observes them with so much admiration, it’s touching. That adoring tone translated into descriptions of herself as well (she wasn’t afraid to call herself sexy lol! Good for her)
3) Really just what is semi-fictional autobiography. Like are these stories true or not haha. Guess it doesn’t matter either way since I enjoyed them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
