Abstract
Artist and writer Eve Babitz is frequently, if not wholly omitted from the Los Angeles and broader Californian literary canon. In the context of the New Journalism movement, Babitz's work emerges as a powerful example of literary localist activism, countering dominating geocultural narratives. Through close literary analysis and archival research, Babitz offers unparalleled insights into sociocultural and class dynamics of Los Angeles during the 1960s, 1970s and beyond.
