ISBN10: 1931082278, ISBN13: 9781931082273, [publisher: The Library of America, New York] Hardcover Hardcover. For writers Los Angeles has always been a place of paradisal promise and apocalyptic undercurrents. Simone de Beauvoir saw a kaleidoscopic hall of mirrors, Aldous Huxley a city of dreadful joy. Where Jack Kerouac found a huge desert encampment, David Thompson imagined Marilyn Monroe, fifty miles long, lying on her side, half-buried on a ridge of crumbling rock.In Writing Los Angeles, The Library of America presents a glittering panorama of the city, encompassing fiction, poetry, essays, journalism, and diaries by over seventy writers. This revelatory anthology brings to life the entrancing surfaces and unsettling contradictions of the City of Angels, from Raymond Chandlers evocation of the murderous moods fed by the Santa Ana winds to John Gregory Dunnes affectionate tribute to the deceptive perspectives of the pale subtropical light.Here are fascinating strata of Los Angeless cultural and social history, from the oil boom of the 1920s to the graffiti artists of the 1980s, from flamboyant evangelist Aimee Semple MacPherson to surf music genius Brian Wilson, from the German emigre intellectuals chronicled by Salka Viertel to the hard-bitten homicide cops tracked by James Ellroy. Here are its fragile ecosystems, its architectural splendors, and its social chasms, in the words of writers as various as M.F.K. Fisher, William Faulkner, Bertolt Brecht, Evelyn ...
