Krátky popis
No one burned hotter than Eve Babitz. Possessing skin that radiated
“its own kind of moral laws,” spectacular teeth, and a figure that
was the stuff of legend, she seduced seemingly everyone who was
anyone in Los Angeles for a long stretch of the 1960s and ’70s. One
man proved elusive, however, and so Babitz did what she did best,
she wrote him a book. Slow Days, Fast Company is a full-fledged and
full-bodied evocation of a bygone Southern California that far
exceeds its mash-note premise. In ten sun-baked, Santa Ana
wind–swept sketches, Babitz re-creates a Los Angeles of movie stars
distraught over their success, socialites on three-day drug binges
holed up in the Chateau Marmont, soap-opera actors worried that
tomorrow’s script will kill them off, Italian femmes fatales even
more fatal than Babitz. And she even leaves LA now and then,
spending an afternoon at the house of flawless Orange County
suburbanites, a day among the grape pickers of the Central Valley,
a weekend in Palm Springs where her dreams of romance fizzle and
her only solace is Virginia Woolf. In the end it doesn’t matter if
Babitz ever gets the guy—she seduces us.
