'I practically snorted this book, stayed up all night with it. Anolik decodes, ruptures, and ultimately intensifies Eve's singular irresistible glitz' - Jia Tolentino on HOLLYWOOD'S EVE 'What Hollywood's Eve has going for it on every page is its subject's utter refusal to be dull... It sends you racing to read the work of Eve Babitz' - New York Times on HOLLYWOOD'S EVE 'There's no better way to look at Hollywood in that magic decade, the 1970s, than through Eve Babitz's eyes. Eve knew everyone, slept with everyone, used, amused and abused everyone. And then there's Eve herself: a cult figure turned into a legend in Anolik's electrifying book. This is a portrait as mysterious, maddening - and seductive - as its subject'' - Peter Biskind, author of EASY RIDERS, RAGING BULLS, on HOLLYWOOD'S EVE 'The Eve Babitz book I've been waiting for. What emerges isn't just a portrait of a writer, but also of Los Angeles: sprawling, melancholic, and glamorous' - Stephanie Danler, author of SWEETBITTER, on HOLLYWOOD'S EVE
