With the release of the “Didion & Babitz” book, I’ve been thinking about what led to them rising in mainstream popularity again. I remember seeing recommendations of Babitz especially make their rounds online a few years ago—first from other authors I follow online, mainly alternative authors like those published by Tyrant Books, and then it seemed like I was seeing them at the front of bookstores more often, along with friends and colleagues I follow all of a sudden reading them. And this, I would think, is why the Didion & Babitz book exists now. All of that to say, I’m curious who you think will be the next cult classic author to find a reemergence!
