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

4.5

this is such a vivid book, with stories that feel so tangible that you can almost reach out and touch them. i felt like i was transported into these vignettes with eve as my tour guide, she has a more polished and poetic tone to her compared to joan didion who tends to feel at arms length at times. eve writes with such humour and honesty painting such beautiful and scathing pictures you can’t help but keep reading. am absolute whirlwind.
