Slow Days, Fast Company

by Eve Babitz

Buy on Amazon

At some level I’ll spend my whole life wishing that I’d ever really lived, if just for a little while, the way Babitz did in Los Angeles in the 1960s and ’70s. No one writes about pleasure, recklessness, and evanescence better. This book is like a night with perfect velocity; a lavender sunrise; a pharmacological whisper that you can do this forever and never die.
