In Didion and Babitz, journalist Lili Anolik delivers a dazzling and provocative dual biography that reads with the propulsion of a novel. At its center: two of the most compelling literary figures of Los Angeles in the 20th century Joan Didion and Eve Babitz.

Uncovering a lost archive of letters sealed away for decades, Anolik reconstructs a world centered around 7406 Franklin Avenue, a Hollywood house that hosted rock stars, artists, drifters, and the two women at the core of this electrifying story. Joan Didion mysterious behind her dark glasses, cerebral, and distant. Eve Babitz ferociously sensual, uninhibited, and scorching with life.

Told through Babitz’s unreleased letters and razor-sharp insights, this book offers a radical lens on Didion’s life and work, revealing a hidden intimacy and rivalry between these cultural titans. A biography, a love letter, and a portrait of California glamour and ruin, Didion and Babitz is an essential read for fans of either writer or both.

Intermission exists in the space between documentation and devotion an ongoing archive of cultural fragments that refuse to vanish. Each title within our portfolio is selected not for trend, but for tension: between what was meant to disappear and what insists on remaining.

We work with objects that speak quietly but persistently publications, recordings, and editions that define the undercurrents of art, sound, and design. Together they form a living record of marginal brilliance, a collection that privileges significance over scale.

Every Intermission title is handled as an artifact. We believe that preservation is an act of reverence one that begins the moment you open a cover or unspool a tape.

To experience a piece, do so slowly. Allow the air to touch the paper, let light fall softly over each page. Avoid excess pressure; handle edges rather than surfaces. Each mark, fold, or patina is part of its passage through time evidence of care rather than decay.

We encourage collectors to engage not only with the content, but with the gesture of preservation itself: a quiet commitment to memory.
