Los Angeles has a tantalizing hold on the American imagination. Its
self-magnifying myths encompass Hollywood glamour, Arcadian
landscapes, and endless summer, but also the apocalyptic undertow
of riots, environmental depredation, and natural disaster. This
Companion traces the evolution of Los Angeles as the most public
staging of the American Dream - and American nightmares. The expert
contributors make exciting, innovative connections among the
authors and texts inspired by the city, covering the early Spanish
settlers, African American writers, the British and German
expatriates of the 1930s and 1940s, Latino, and Asian LA
literature. The genres discussed include crime novels, science
fiction, Hollywood novels, literary responses to urban rebellion,
the poetry scene, nature writing, and the most influential
non-fiction accounts of the region. Diverse, vibrant, and
challenging as the city itself, this Companion is the definitive
guide to LA in literature.
