In 2018, I was asked to interview Eve Babitz for 

. We began a correspondence via Babitz's agent. We got through a first round of questions before her agent realized what a 

 interview entails: they are long, and detailed. It was said that Babitz couldn't accommodate this and the correspondence was cut short. Here, for the first time are Babitz's answers to my first nine questions.
