“Liberal feminism promises women freedom - and when that promise comes up against the hard limits imposed by biology, then the ideology directs women to chip away at those limits through the use of money, technology and the bodies of pooter people.”

Perspective altering and eye-opening read!

Dear Goodreads update Reader, I am on page 55 (I like to tell you what page I am at, and right now I am on page 55). -this is literally how this author writes

1. Did not expect this to be just full blown fangirling about Babitz.
2. The writing is hard to not cringe at, to say the least.
3. Is the author going to try and convince me that Babitz is the better artist/ writer? Because I have read Eve’s Hollywood and even her better books don’t come close to Didion’s writing.

Uuugghhhh what a book!!! Got me tearing up in a cafe.

It’s honestly even better rereading it because I can see Scarlett’s evolution so much better.

I am finishing this goddamn book, come what may

Setting my reading goal for 2026 lower because I know I’ll be at this one for a while

Reading this very slowly because 1) I knit instead of reading and 2) after reading a page of this book I get so sleepy. Ach, Weltklasseliteratur…
