Didion & Babitz HBAn outrageously provocative and profoundly moving new work on the complicated relationship between Joan Didion and her fellow literary titan, Eve Babitz. 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

An outrageously provocative and profoundly moving new work on the complicated relationship between Joan Didion and her fellow literary titan, Eve Babitz.

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.

Nice shirt for the price
Color: White, Size: Large
Good quality shirt, especially for the price. Drapes nicely, almost a painterly feel with the fabric. Works across the wardrobe spectrum, pairing well with slacks in a business setting or with chinos for a more casual look.

Great Fit and Price While Updating My Wardrobe
Color: Shortbread, Size: Large
As I’ve been getting fitter, my old clothes started looking too baggy, so I needed something that fit better without breaking the bank. This COOFANDY chambray shirt turned out to be exactly what I was looking for—lightweight, wrinkle-resistant, and stylish enough for casual or dressy wear. The fabric feels soft and breathable, and it pairs easily with jeans or slacks. Since I’m still losing weight, I didn’t want to overspend on clothes I may size out of soon, and these hit the sweet spot for both quality and affordability.
