Summary
Eva Babitz: The Woman from El-Ej
The cult memoir "The Woman from El-Ej" (Eve's Hollywood / Slow Days, Fast Company) by Eva Babitz presents a vivid, witty and provocative portrait of Los Angeles in the 60s and 70s. Babitz, the muse and friend of numerous artists and musicians, writes about her own life intertwined with art, love, parties and the freedom of spirit of that time.
With a recognizable combination of irony, sensuality and sincerity, the author offers an intimate view of the world of glamor and bohemianism behind the scenes of Hollywood. "The Woman from El-Ej" is at the same time a chronicle of a city, a generation and an extraordinary woman who knew how to live life to the fullest.
