Babe Walker is the fictional persona and collective pen name created by Lara Schoenhals, David Oliver Cohen and Tanner Cohen for the White Girl Problems project. White Girl Problems presents Babe as a wealthy, self-absorbed young Los Angeles woman narrating shopping, dieting, dating and family crises with exaggerated entitlement. Psychos and American Babe continue the character’s complaints and social satire, extending a voice that began online into novel-length comedy. The joke depends on recognising Babe as a constructed persona rather than reading the books as literal celebrity memoir. The writing is fast, slang-heavy and deliberately shallow in perspective, using narcissism to parody affluent lifestyle culture and social-media confession. White Girl Problems is the defining book for the Babe Walker persona, and the satire works only when the narrator’s shopping, dieting and dating crises are understood as a deliberately manufactured voice of affluent self-absorption.
