Slow Days, Fast Company

The World, The Flesh, and L.A.

By: Eve Babitz

Narrated by: Mia Barron

Eve Babitz captured the voluptuous quality of LA in the 1960s in a wildly original, totally unique voice. These stories are time capsule gems, as poignant and startling today as they were when published in the early 1970s. Eve Babitz is not well known today, but she should be. Her firsthand experiences in the LA cultural scene, translated into haunting fiction, are an unforgettable glimpse at a lost world and a magical time.

Old Hollywood

Fantastic! Im on my 4th listen. You hear something new every time. Highly recommend. Great performance as well

Masterful narration with exquisite text

Makes this book a total joy. A woman living life on her own terms is a beautiful thing.

obsessed with Eve

I am on a journey back in the time of Sex drugs, and rock n roll in LA. I'm completely transported into Eve Babitz world. I can't wait to read her next rereleased Book.

Brilliant writing

I read this in one sitting. I loved it. Eve is brilliant and unfiltered. I will be returning to this book to enjoy it again!

Like a seventies polaroid it slowly reveals a hidden reality of L.A.

Excellent narration , wonderful stories and fantastic observations. At times , I felt like I was lazily driving to the ocean with sunglasses on and wondering what colors the sunset would be.

We all need a little Eve Babitz from time to time.

Loved this book

This book is a very easy ready. An overall good, quick paced story. Loved it.

Oh Eve.

I found revisiting Eve Babitz’ body of work fully enthralling such great stories and a person who lived life the way she wanted to live it from the fabulous to the sordid Eve Babitz spins her Hollywood stories of stars, players, artists, hangers on and friends. In her storytelling you feel that her friends are yours and every experience as through one were there. I also enjoyed that this book was narrated by the same person who did Eve’s Hollywood so excellently. Wonderful job again.

Awful narrator

the narrator ruined it for me it’s a shame. I wanted to listen to more eve babitz books but somehow this lady narrates all of them?

Weird narrative cadence

The story itself is disjointed and uninteresting. The narrator has a strange cadence, as though each sentence has a secret ending. It’s not great, mostly annoying.

This is okay

There are better books out there at the moment it was talking about heroin addict.
