L.A. Exile A Guide to Los Angeles Writing 1932-1998

"This valuable and exciting collection gathers pieces not only by the usual suspects (West, Fitzgerald, Chandler, Cain, Didion) But some decidedly non-usual ones....The adroit selections by San Franciscan Paul Vangelisti are put into context by informative prefaces and illustrated by Jen Calbi's photographs of the 38 authors' L.A. dwellings. As a book to peruse with pleasure, as a guide to over half a century of Los Angeles culture, as a stimulant for further thought and reading, this is as good a volume as any city's reader could wish."Vangelisti, Paul is the author of 'L.A. Exile A Guide to Los Angeles Writing 1932-1998' with ISBN 9781568860688 and ISBN 1568860684.
