Eve Babitz’s two collected works are separated by sixteen years — Slow Days, Fast Company appeared in 1977, with Black Swans not arriving until 1993. The long gap between them means they feel like distinct moments in her writing life rather than a continuous project.
Slow Days, Fast Company is the earlier of the two and the natural starting point. Black Swans rounds out the pair, giving readers two chances to encounter Babitz’s fiction in collected form.
