Sex And Rage by Eve Babitz

Advice to Young Ladies Eager for a Good Time

A hedonistic young woman drifts through sunlit Los Angeles surf breaks and glittering parties, then decamps to New York’s literary scene, testing the limits of glamour, romance, and excess. As she stumbles from muse to maker, she fights to transform her appetite for pleasure into artistic discipline and a voice of her own. Wry and incisive, the story charts a coming-of-age amid the intoxicating freedoms and dangers of the 1970s.
