Two by Two

From Eve Babitz, the iconic chronicler of Los Angeles and author of Slow Days, Fast Company and Eve’s Hollywood, comes a seductive, irreverent plunge into the city’s obsession with dancing.

Over two years, nine pairs of shoes, and countless partners, Babitz moves through foxtrot, tango, salsa, swing, lindy, and two-step, capturing the obsessive dancers, late-night clubs, flirtations, and rituals of Los Angeles nightlife.

Part memoir, part portrait of a subculture, Two by Two is a witty, seductive celebration of dance, desire, and the pleasure of losing yourself in both.
