Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 1st Edition. LOS ANGELES & THE ARTIST AS AN "IT GIRL" BABITZ, Eve. Slow Days, Fast Company: The World, The Flesh, and L.A. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1977 First edition, first printing of the author's second and best book. This is a semi-autobiographical collection and a love letter to Los Angeles, Babitz's native city, home, and her artist's studio. Eve Babitz (1943-2021) was L.A.'s "It girl" of her era; her friends and lovers included Jim Morrison and Harrison Ford. She became an icon of art and sex in 1963, when she posed naked playing chess with Marcel Duchamp. The stylish dust jacket by Chris Blum depicts a soigné saluki dog sitting at a bar with a glass of wine filled by a mysterious mechanism. The photo of Eve Babitz on the rear cover is by Paul Ruscha, who is the unnamed man at the heart of this book. 'With Slow Days, Eve attained that American ideal: Art that stays loose, maintains its cool. Art so purely enjoyable as to be mistaken for simple entertainment. It's a tradition that includes F. Scott Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington, Fred Astaire, Andy Warhol and, of course, Marilyn Monroe.' (from Didion and Babitz by Lili Anolik) 178 pp. 8vo, qtr cloth, top corners slightly bumped, cloth and edges lightly spotted. Very good in very good dust jacket (price-clipped).
