I've been wanting to read Babitz, and this collection in particular, for quite some time and I'm so glad I got around to it. Babitz's writing is so vivacious and sharp and witty. There were some stories I enjoyed more than others but even the ones that weren't my cup of tea were by no means bad. I think my favourites were 'Jealousy', 'Free Tibet', 'Coco' and 'Black Swans'.
