A review by izzyvb023
Slow Days, Fast Company: The World, the Flesh, and L.A.: Tales by Eve Babitz

4.0

I liked these essays a lot! I was gifted this book for my birthday and really enjoyed Babitz’s writing. It was hard to get into at first with the rambling and gossipy nature, but once I got used to it, I quite enjoyed it. I could never see myself living in LA (in fact, i think id despise it), but i loved experiencing it from Babitz’s perspective. This book has a very “hot bisexual girl summer” vibe to it.

It’s a shame that Babitz suffered from a degenerative brain disorder and became a recluse later in life.
