Following the wildly successful reception of Eve Babitz's novel, Sex and Rage, comes the reissue of her gorgeous story collection, Black Swans

Eve Babitz's writing speaks to a whole new generation of readers, and is just as totemic a writer to young women today as Francesa Lia Block's Weetzie Bat was to the children of the 90s

Essential summer reading choice, and the perfect Mother's Day gift for hip, trendy moms

Cover/packaging will be just as iconic as Sex and Rage

Extensive paid social media campaign and Instagram/Twitter influencer outreach

$15k marketing and publicity budget

Praise from Librarians and Booksellers:

"Is there anyone cooler than Eve Babitz? Now, it's easy to be cool when you're jumping from party to party in the center of the party universe in your party years in THE party era, but what about when the party ends? Everyone gets sober or doesn't, everyone's fallen out of love with falling in love, money and malls have won out over peace and love, and AIDS erased those that made the parties worth attending—and yet, Eve's cool eye remains. Sure, these stories talk of Beverly Hills and surfing and sex and dinner parties where beautiful people revisit old loves—all told with Eve's signature flow and eye for the telling detail—but underneath the glamour, these stories are about loss, change, broken dreams, sobriety, a Los Angeles on fire, adjusting to life after years of oversaturation, and, most of all, tango. More than weather the down tides, she approaches these heavy changes with a flip of her 'Doris Day but punk' hair, a flash of her California smile as if to say, 'Hey c'est la vie, baby, what can you do?'" —Molly Moore, BookPeople (Austin, TX)
