Eve Babitz

Eve Babitz (1943–2021) was an American writer and journalist from Los Angeles. She wrote for magazines including *Ms.* and *Esquire* and designed album covers for artists such as The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, and Linda Ronstadt. In seven largely semi-autobiographical books, including *Eve’s Hollywood*, she portrayed Los Angeles’s cultural bohemia and its party, music, and film scenes. Her work was rediscovered internationally following reissues beginning in 2019.
