Customer Reviews

excellent anthology

Great selection of great writing. Most pieces are instant classics. Captures the breadth and depth of an area not usually associated with the literary scene (except for hard boiled private eyes.) Nice piece by editor Ulin sets the mood.

Enticing read!

All the storie is this book are quick, fun & amusing to read. I think everyone who has visited Los Angeles or ones who were raised in "Another City" will agree it's a must read. This book also makes a perfectly fitting gift for those.
