Paul Bowles finished The Sheltering Sky eight months after he had begun it. Doubleday rejected it, asserting that it was not a novel and he had to return the advance they had given him.

Eve Babitz and Joan Didion may be dead. But their feud isn’t A new book on the Los Angeles authors leaves no petty stone unturned as it explores their fraught friendship

Eve Babitz and Joan Didion may be dead. But their feud isn’t

“A new book on the Los Angeles authors leaves no petty stone unturned as it explores their fraught friendship” 📚 🇺🇸 ✍🏽 🌴

Six black-and-white photobooth snapshots in a two-wide strip featuring an unsmiling Eve Babbitz. The three on the right side show the writer in dark sunglasses with her hair loosely pulled back. In the three on the left, hair down and no shades.

Iconic photo of Joan Didion smoking, cigarette held high, and staring intently into the camera. She is wearing white with her left arm held across her stomach. There is no hint of a smile.

"Could you write what you write if you weren’t so tiny, Joan?"—Eve Babitz, in a letter to Joan Didion, 1972 📚 🇺🇸 ✍🏽 🌴 #writers #WomenWriters #BookSky #AmericanWriters #CaliforniaWriters #quotes #literature #LiteraryQuotes
