Immortalized as the nude beauty facing down Duchamp and as one of Ed Ruscha's \u003ci\u003eFive 1965 Girlfriends\u003c\/i\u003e, Babitz's first book showed her to be a razor-sharp writer with tales of her own. \u003ci\u003eEve's Hollywood\u003c\/i\u003e is an album of vivid snapshots of Southern California's haute bohemians, of outrageously beautiful high-school ingenues and enviably tattooed Chicanas, of rock stars sleeping it off at the Chateau Marmont. And though Babitz's prose might appear careening, she's in control as she takes us on a ride through an LA of perpetual delight, from a joint serving the perfect taquito, to the corner of La Brea and Sunset where we make eye contact with a roller-skating hooker, to the Watts Towers. This \"daughter of the wasteland\" is here to show us that her city is no wasteland at all but a glowing landscape of swaying fruit trees and blooming bougainvillea, buffeted by earthquakes and the Santa Ana winds--and every bit as seductive as she is. \u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEve Babitz\u003c\/b\u003e (1943-2021) was the author of several books of fiction, including \u003ci\u003eSex and Rage: Advice to Young Ladies Eager for a Good Time\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eL.A.
