  1. 1. L.A. Woman

    A glittering, witty coming-of-age tale set in 1960s–70s Los Angeles that follows a young woman's navigation of art, music, sex, and celebrity as she drifts through parties, studios, and movie sets; blending memoiristic detail and novelistic freedom, the narrative captures how the city's glamour, creative energy, and moral ambiguities shape her friendships, lovers, ambitions, and the costs of belonging to an alluring but precarious cultural scene.
