Sex and Rage
by Eve Babitz
2.5 stars — Goodreads won’t let me give half points in 2024
The phrase sex and rage was said a few times throughout the book, but there wasn’t much of either.
I did enjoy the stream of consciousness format, it reminded me of the dialogue in Sex and the Single Girl (the iconic 1964 film starring Natalie Wood, not the book). It felt like a very quick witted, cosmopolitan time capsule and I really appreciated that.
Overall the book was a tedious, though. I didn’t really care for the protagonist. I cared more about those at the periphery, even the evil martini gay, Max.
