Who We Are: The Lives Of Joan Didion and Eve Babitz

Step into the remarkable worlds of Joan Didion and Eve Babitz, two groundbreaking women who shaped the spirit of modern American literature and the allure of California culture. Who We Are brings readers into the heart of these two trailblazing icons-the sharp-eyed observer with an elegant yet cutting style, and the unapologetic muse of Los Angeles who lived out loud in every sense of the word. Both defied conventions, yet each carved a distinctive path through an era of immense social and cultural upheaval, leaving legacies that remain as vivid as their lives.

With Didion, you'll journey through the landscapes of 20th-century America, witnessing her piercing reflections on California, politics, grief, and the American dream. Known for her unflinching honesty, Didion took readers to the edge of both beauty and chaos, revealing truths few dared to speak. In contrast, Babitz brought a bold, colorful flair to the scene, a self-styled femme fatale who played by her own rules-an artist, writer, and eternal It-girl whose life was as vibrant and daring as her words.

Who We Are reveals the extraordinary lives behind the mythologies, chronicling Didion's keen literary gaze and Babitz's kaleidoscopic vision of L.A. Set against the shifting tides of California's counterculture, Hollywood excess, and political turmoil, this is the story of two women who challenged norms, captured imaginations, and blazed paths that inspired generations to come.
