There’s certainly no shortage of raucous, semi-fictionalised memoirs by Eve Babitz to choose from. However, I Used to Be Charming offers us a rollicking cross-section of her best work. Sumptuous, seductive and filled to the brim with razor-sharp wit, editor Sara Kramer compiles nearly 50 pieces written by Babitz between 1975 and 1997, including her literary deep dive into the ground-breaking world of Fiorucci and the story of a near-fatal accident in 1996.
