Slow Days, Fast Company

Hollywood. This magical name, like a magnet, attracts dreamers from all over the planet. The City of Angels beckons with its amazing light, apparent ease of existence and exclusive inaccessibility of paradise. A collection of short stories by the American writer and artist of the 1970s, Eve Babitz, offers us a look at Hollywood life from the inside from an involved and secretive lucky woman.

This book is about love for men and love for Los Angeles. Intimate sensuality and satirical-sarcastic wit - this is how you can characterize the style of Babitz's prose, which is still little known in our lands. The author will definitely interest everyone who seeks to savor the warmth and light, the colors of jacaranda and orange trees, Emerald Bay, sun-warmed vineyards and serpentine roads - a life that seems to an outside observer to be one endless weekend.
