She's interesting - some white hot seminal LA margins stuff - but her work can be a bit repetitive, and she only really wrote one great book before it seems the partying began to really take a toll.
In terms of how she's been allowed to be forgotten, a Vanity Fair writer Lili Anolik recently wrote a book about her called Eve's Hollywood which I've had on the shelf for a while. She did quite a good interview about Eve on Bret Easton Ellis's podcast and Bret basically spilled that latter day Eve has become a legendarily a sad character, invoking images of Sunset Blvd. She was very badly burned in an accident and seemed to completely withdraw from public life, and even from her own friends and family. She now apparently watches Fox News round the clock and is a right-of-Trump republican shut in, which is a sad and unexpected fall imo. Although with that said, she was always at the centre of her own stories and that seems to be the most LA type tragic transition imaginable so perhaps not so unexpected.
Lili said a tv streamer bought the rights to all Eve's work so she's not destitute - but I wonder if they might be waiting to adapt it posthumously as she would be considered super problematic now, particularly with the kinds of people an adaptation of her work would be aimed at.
I'm obsessed with LA, and in particular films and books set there - it's this incredible wonderland where seemingly anything can happen, good or bad, and she writes wonderfully about it at times. I re-read her when I was there and she definitely gets at whatever it is in the air there.
