Ep 35: Didion and Babitz Discussion

from The 5 O’Clock Book Club Hosted by Emily Fern

Happy Wednesday! Welcome back to another episode of The 5 O'Clock Book Club. This week, we read the ultimate cool-girl nonfiction book, Didion and Babitz by Lili Anolik (forgive our consistent mispronunciation of Anolik in this ep). Are you Team Didion or Team Babitz? It seems like there's only one side to walk away from this book on. Is this a shortcoming? Maybe. However, the vivid, vicarious, sex-drugs-and-rock-and-roll daydream this book allowed us to live made up for any of its imperfections. Join us in wishing we'd been members of the scene, living slow days with fast company! Pour up a drink, kick back, and enjoy this episode! Next episode's book: Razorblade Tears by S.A. Cosby Love ya, -Em and SK <3
