描述
By: Eve Babitz
A generous selection of letters, sent and unsent, by the one and only Eve Babitz, queen of the witty, gossipy, and thoroughly engrossing missive. This is the first collection of its kind and a guaranteed good time.
Eve Babitz to a friend in 1979:
“I wrote this letter to Leo Lerman, that editor at Vogue who took me out to lunch at the Algonquin when I was in NY.... So I told him how I’d moved to Santa Monica, and what it was like, and the skating and the Rodeo Drive-type stores. And he published the thing as is, or was (it was slightly edited). Now it’s appearing on every newsstand. And since it’s the kind of writing I do best—letters—people are dropping dead all over the place over how wonderful I am.”
Letter-writing was the kind of writing Babitz did best. (Her missives—fresh and frank, dashing and droll—are irresistible, as highly spirited as they are acutely perceptive.) And people will be dropping dead all over the place when they get a load of this collection.
