Sex & Rage

The great novel by Hollywood's most exciting author:

Eve Babitz's brilliance is too obvious, too radiant, too true to remain a secret. Vanity Fair

Eve Babitz is one of the most thrilling rediscoveries of recent times. For a long time, her simultaneously sharp and lighthearted writings were overlooked. It was only shortly before her death that a generation, as young as Eve Babitz was at the beginning of her career, began to take notice of her. In "Sex & Rage," she tells of glamour and deep abysses – and of a muse who, in the 1970s, had the audacity to become an artist herself. Breathlessly, we follow the young Jacaranda, who grew up on the beaches of Los Angeles, as she navigates the highs and lows of life, drinking, dancing, and celebrating – all while pursuing her goals with a sharp tongue and an unerring eye for observation.

Intense, glamorous, intoxicating, and exhilarating. The New York Times

Eve Babitz's writings read as if someone turned a Lana Del Rey song into a novel. @hotliterati on TikTok.
