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 fullfledged and fullbodied evocation of a bygone Southern California that far exceeds its mashnote premise. In ten sunbaked, Santa Ana windswept sketches, Babitz recreates a Los Angeles of movie stars distraught over their success, socialites on threeday drug binges holed up in the Chateau Marmont, soapopera actors worried that tomorrows 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 doesnt matter if Babitz ever gets the guyshe seduces us.
