"Babitz’s talent for the brilliant line, honed to a point, never interferes with her feel for languid pleasures." - The New York Times Book Review
A new reissue of Babitz’s collection of nine stories that look back on the 1980s and early 1990s - decades of dreams, drink, and glimpses of a changing world. Black Swans further celebrates the phenomenon of Eve Babitz, cementing her reputation as the voice of a generation.
With an introduction by Stephanie Danler, bestselling author of Sweetbitter.
"On the page, Babitz is pure pleasure―a perpetual-motion machine of no-stakes elation and champagne fizz." - The New Yorker
"[A] true original." - The Boston Globe
"She’s a natural. Or gives every appearance of being one, her writing elevated yet slangy, bright, bouncy, cheerfully hedonistic - L.A. in it purest, most idealized form." - Vanity Fair
"Babitz's writing is also like the jacaranda tree in glorious bloom-bewitching an entire city, but all too brief." - Los Angeles Review of Books
