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.
Lili Anolik is a contributing editor at Vanity Fair and a writer at large for Air Mail. Her last book was the Los Angeles Times bestseller Hollywood's Eve. She is the creator of the podcast Once Upon a Time... at Bennington College. She lives in New York City with her husband and two sons.
