It is the 1970s in LA, and Jacaranda Leven - child of sun and surf - is swept into the dazzling cultural milieu of the beautiful people. Floating on a cloud of drink, drugs and men, she finds herself adrift, before her talent for writing, and a determined literary agent, set her on a course for New York and a new life. Sex & Rage is a recently re-discovered classic from author Eve Babitz, herself a muse to many an artist, writer and musician in the 1970s. A semi-autobiographical novel, it charts the highs and lows of a life lived at the limits, and transports the reader to a sunnier, dreamier, more reckless time and place. Coming to audio for the first time in the UK, narrated by Katherine Fenton. Biographical Fiction Fiction Genre Fiction Literary Fiction Women's Fiction Biography Rage

Struggled badly. Gave up after 6 chapters. Well written but the story is incredibly dull and slow and nothing seems to happen.

Nothing happens

An unlikeable and entitled woman talks endlessly about how marvellous she thinks she is ad infinitum. Flimsy characters, boastful overtones and utterly devoid of humanity or plot. Dreadful

Boring and Indulgent
