Black Swans was my first Eve Babitz book and I really enjoyed it, enough in fact to recommend it to all of you! It is a collection of nine fictionalised auto-biographical stories set in 1980s Los Angeles. In my opinion, Babitz captured L.A. perfectly, alluring yet tragic. She discusses topics such as AIDS, sex, drugs, jealousy, the Chateau Marmont, the L.A. riots, writing and even refers to Virginia Woolf on a few occasions. 💗 💗 This striking pink and green edition was rereleased earlier this month by @counterpointpress and it has given me a serious case of #californiadreaming. * * * * * * * * * #blackswans #evebabitz #losangeles #shortstories #joandidion #belletristbabe #pinkbooks #stancemuse @stancemuse #stancesocks @stancesocks @fbombtrading #theuncommonthread #socksunday #sockgame #booksandsocks
