I Used to Be Charming: The Rest of Eve Babitz
Eve Babitz, Molly Lambert (introduction)An NYRB Classics Original
With Eve’s Hollywood Eve Babitz lit up the scene in 1974. The books that followed, among them Slow Days, Fast Company & Sex & Rage, have seduced generations of readers with their unfailing wit & impossible glamour.
What is less well known is that Babitz was a working journalist for the better part of three decades, writing for the likes of Rolling Stone, Vogue, & Esquire, as well as for off-the-beaten-path periodicals like Wet: The Magazine of Gourmet Bathing & Francis Ford Coppola’s short-lived City.
Whether profiling Hollywood darlings, getting to the bottom of health crazes like yoga & acupuncture, remembering friends & lovers from her days hobnobbing with rock stars at the Troubadour & art stars at the Ferus Gallery, or writing about her beloved, misunderstood hometown, Los Angeles, Babitz approaches every assignment with an energy & verve that is all her own.
I Used to Be Charming gathers nearly fifty pieces written between 1975 & 1997, including the full text of Babitz’s wry book-length investigation into the pioneering lifestyle brand Fiorucci. The title essay, published here for the first time, recounts the accident that came close to killing her in 1996; it reveals an uncharacteristically vulnerable yet never less than utterly charming Babitz.
Eve Babitz (1943–2021) was the author of several books of fiction, including Sex & Rage: Advice to Young Ladies Eager for a Good Time, L.A. Woman, & Black Swans: Stories. Her nonfiction works include Fiorucci, the Book & Two by Two: Tango, Two-Step, & the L.A. Night. She has written for a variety of publications including Ms. & Esquire & in the late 1960s designed album covers for the Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, & Linda Ronstadt. NYRB Classics publishes Eve's Hollywood, Slow Days, Fast Company, & I Used to Be Charming.
