Eve Babitz died on December 17, 2021. Found in the wrack, ruin, and filth of her apartment, a stack of boxes packed by her mother decades before. The boxes were pristine, the seals of duct tape unbroken. Inside, a lost world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDidion, in spite of her confessional style, is so little known or understood. She’s remained opaque, elusive. Until now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eABOUT THE AUTHOR\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLili Anolik is a contributing editor at Vanity Fair and a writer at large for Air Mail. She is the author of the Los Angeles Times bestseller Hollywood's Eve and Didion and Babitz. Her last podcast, Once Upon a Time…at Bennington College, was produced by Cadence13. In 2024, she was a finalist for the National Magazine Award for profile writing. She lives in New York City with her husband and two sons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePRAISE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Anolik brings her journalistic instincts and her deep passion for Didion and Babitz to create a vivid, engrossing work.\" —Vogue\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Dazzling and provocative . . . I found myself cheering on Anolik's decision to make one more foray into Babitz's glittering, free-falling, unencumbered yet troubled world. Would I want my daughter to follow Babitz's path or Didion's, if given the choice? Probably not Babitz's. But what a ride.\" —Leigh Haber, The Los Angeles Times\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Anolik unearths a complicated, contentious—and scandalously overlooked—alliance between these two glamorous behemoths of Californian literature. . . . What results is a love letter in the form of this detailed biography that reads like a propulsive novel. You'll be reaching for Didion's and Babitz's books to search for evidence of the messy truths revealed on these pages.\" —Oprah Daily\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePRODUCT INFORMATION\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardcover\u003cbr\u003e352 Pages\u003cbr\u003eBiography \u0026amp;amp; Autobiography\u003cbr\u003e9 in H | 6 in W | 1.4 in T | 1.1 lb\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Posman Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45157741428935,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/3277\/8951\/files\/9781668065495-Didion_20_20Babitz_20Anolik2620.jpg?v=1777584500","url":"https:\/\/posmanbooks.com\/products\/didion-babitz","provider":"Posman Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
