The New York Review of Books, Inc. New.. New York: New.. No one burned hotter than Eve Babitz. Possessing skin that radiated "its own kind of moral laws," spectacular teeth, and a figure that was the stuff of legend, she seduced seemingly everyone who was anyone in Los Angeles for a long stretch of the 1960s and '70s. One man proved elusive, however, and so Babitz did what she did best, she wrote him a book. Slow Days, Fast Company is a full-fledged and full-bodied evocation of a bygone Southern California that far exceeds its mash-note premise. In ten sun-baked, Santa Ana wind-swept sketches, Babitz re-creates a Los Angeles of movie stars distraught over their success, socialites on three-day drug binges holed up in the Chateau Marmont, soap-opera actors worried that tomorrow's script will kill them off, Italian femmes fatales even more fatal than Babitz. And she even leaves LA now and then, spending an afternoon at the house of flawless Orange County suburbanites, a day among the grape pickers… Read More

Washington Square Press. New. A small community tucked deep in the forest, Beartown is home to tough, hardworking people who don't expect life to be easy or fair No matter how difficult times get, they've always been able to take pride in their local ice hockey team So it's a cruel blow when they hear that their town's ice hockey club might soon be disbanded What makes it worse is the obvious satisfaction that all the former Beartown players, who now play for a rival team in the neighboring town of Hed, take in that fact But the arrival of a newcomer gives Beartown hockey a chance at a comebackSoon a team starts to take shape around Amat, the fastest player you'll ever see; Benji, the intense lone wolf; always dutiful and eager-to-please Bobo; and Vidar, a born-to-be-bad troublemaker But bringing this team together proves to be a huge challenge, especially as the town's enmity with Hed grows more and more acute as the big game approachesBy the time the last goal is scored, a resident of Beartown… Read More
