Los Angeles may be best known as the hub of the film and television
industry, but this collection of short fiction proves that beyond
the beach and the glamour of Hollywood there is much more that
makes the City of Angels special. Featuring an eclectic mix of
fiction from a variety of talented literary minds—including TC
Boyle, Ron Carlson, Judith Freeman, Percival Everett, and
more—this anthology defies genre or easy categorization. Topics
explored range from the deeply personal, such as a lesbian couple's
loss of a child and the reaction of a young man to a natural
disaster, to the larger-than-life, including a vivid tale of a
robot-infested dystopian Long Beach. This allows the creativity and
vivacity of the Los Angeles literary scene to be put on display,
with a powerful sense of place as the core of this ambitious and
insightful project.
