A TOP 12 BOOK OF THE YEAR PICK IN THE TIMES AND SUNDAY TIMES THE BELLETRIST BOOK CLUB PICK FOR NOVEMBER 2024 'This book is magic. It's all I ever needed' LENA DUNHAM 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 centred on a two-story rental in a down-at-heel section of Hollywood in the sixties and seventies. 7406 Franklin Avenue was the making of one great American writer: Joan Didion a mystery behind her dark glasses and cool expression an enigma inside her storied marriage to John Gregory Dunne. Franklin Avenue was also the breaking and then the remaking - and thus the true making - of another great American writer: Eve Babitz goddaughter of Igor Stravinsky nude of Marcel Duchamp consort of Jim Morrison (among many many others) a woman who burned so hot she finally almost burned herself alive. Didion and Babitz formed a complicated alliance a friendship that went bad amity turning to enmity. With deftness and skill journalist Lili Anolik uses Babitz Babitz's brilliance of observation Babitz's incisive intelligence and most of all Babitz's diary-like letters - letters found in those sealed boxes letters so intimate you don't read them so much as breathe them - as the key to unlocking Didion.
