I was captivated by the stories at the beginning of this collection, but began to lose steam with the longer (and more depressing) vignettes at the end.

Just amazing how Eve Babitz creates such sharp images and portraits with her colloquial narrative voice, it’s inspiring. At first I couldn’t get into this book, but I started getting used to her voice a third of the way through, and learning how to slow down and read her details, and it really impressed me. Not really a “page-turner” kind of book, but really a marvel. Reread someday.
