Advance Reading Copy (ARC, trade paperback format. ) An uncommon later title by Babitz, a "glamorous trip through the dance scene" in Los Angeles by this novelist and social commentator. Among those found in these pages are choreographer Rene Victor, salsa queenSandra Bullock, tango champion Robert Duvall, Toni Basil, El Floridita and the Viper Room. Native Los Angelena Babitz had her "first brush with notoriety in 1963 through Julian Wasser's iconic photograph of a nude, 20-year-old Babitz playing chess with the artist Marcel Duchamp on the occasion of his landmark retrospective at the Pasadena Art Museum." Molly Lambert commented about her work in the Paris Review "Babitz is at home anywhere, and everywhere she goes she finds the most interesting person, the weirdest place, the funniest throwaway detail. She makes writing seem effortless and fun, which any writer can tell you is the hardest trick of all." Scarce as an advance issue. 199 pp. Fine in glossy illustrated wrappers.
