Radiant Creatures: on Eve Babitz
Babitz is supremely interested in the pursuit of pleasure: her characters are constantly and perilously drawn to the temptations of beauty, sex, drugs, and fame. Then there is the attractive nature of her prose, riddled with brilliant aphorisms and vivid descriptions of sensual delight. But this evocation of glamour should not distract from the radical critique of gender and sexuality that is contained within her writing.
