Hollywood's Eve: Eve Babitz and the Secret History of L.A. by Lili Anolik
4.0
Since reading Eve’s Hollywood and Slow Days, Fast Company I’ve been very intrigued by the person behind the voice.
Lili Anolik is basically an Eve Babitz fan girl, much like me with Marina Diamandis. And it really comes through in this book.
This book could easily have been a telling of Eve’s life with dates and long descriptions of her early years without any wit and dry as a stale piece of bread. I mean some biographies are like this...
But this was so far from that it felt a love letter to a person that you look up to.
I found out so much more about Eve Babitz, her lifestyle, relationships and even a bit of back story about her parents and sister. It’s also told like a story with dialogue and there’s a few photos of Eve in there too.
I never knew she was so entwined with the stars of Hollywood and L.A. in the 60s and 70s...
A must read for anyone ✨
