L.A. Woman Av Eve Babitz

<p>Sophie, a twenty-something Jim Morrison groupie gliding through a golden existence in L.A., and Lola, a German immigrant who has settled in Hollywood, know that while Los Angeles is constantly changing, it is essentially eternal. The two women dazzle - one with the promises of youth, the other with the fulfilment of nostalgia - as they wend their way through the pink sunsets and the palm trees of Los Angeles.<br><br>Living out their addictively decadent lives, Sophie and Lola are cult writer Babitz's literary embodiment of the iconic <i>L.A. Woman</i> - more than in part inspired by her own wild and hedonistic youth.</p>
