Too L.A.: Letters Never Sent (But Some Were)
Capsule 98 by Randi Bergman
“Perhaps no one writes better about being a reckless slut than Eve Babitz, the patron saint of literary fashion girlies who lust after her sixties LA oeuvre, her ability to bed the likes of Jim Morrison and Harrison Ford and her electric prose about all of the above. I started Too L.A.: Letters Never Sent (But Some Were), a new collection of letters she wrote to famous friends, paramours and family”
