Her journey takes many surreal twists: Ghosts are involved, as is a bizarre California cult and--because this is a Clowes story, where doom is never far off--the literal apocalypse... the more time I spent with Monica, the more I felt moved by the emotional ambition of its decades-long narrative.

Reading Babitz’s early work is like being whisked from one glamorous party to another...Her early work is what made her reputation, but this later collection, in which she’s looking back and making sense of it all, is simply better—a trajectory I wish for all writers.
