Writing Los Angeles A Literary Anthology A Library of America Special Publication David L Ulin 9781931082273 Books

The only "plot" is Los Angeles as treated by writers over many decades. This is a remarkable collection of very well-chosen reportage, memoirs, short fiction, essays, etc., all dealing with the city and the people of LA. NOT a travel book. An ideal gift for a thoughtful loved one moving to or living in the city.

Writing Los Angeles A Literary Anthology A Library of America Special Publication David L Ulin 9781931082273 Books Reviews

Great collections. Covers many genres and periods.
I purchased this book for an English course emphasizing Los Angeles HIstory and I loved reading it! The book made class discussion very interesting. Wonderful resource on los angeles history.
I have not had the opportunity to read all of it. It was recommended by my autobiography instructor and appears to be very interesting for Los Anglophiles. Possible others. Stanley O. Epstein
I used it this year for a course in American lit and style analysis. Diverse voices covering the complete span of the history of the city allows you to complement other texts in considering theme and style. We read the Mailer and Kerouac pieces back to back, for example. Nice anchor for the syllabus.
I bought it for my pierce college class and its ok
I've lived in L.A. for 17 years now, and I feel like I am still discovering the place. This book is an awesome distillation of some of the best writing about L.A. Didion, Capote, West, Faulkner, Weschler, Iyer, Bradbury, they're all here. It's my favorite book to just pick up and "read something" out of, at the moment. This one will be on my coffee table for a good long while.
Enjoying it.

What a wonderful collection of short stories and parts of longer stories. If you know Los Angeles, you nod your head in agreement. If you don't know it, you get acquainted with it. I'll never forget those little forays into the life of LA people. I especially remember the women in the stories by Faulkner, Menchen, and Williams. Not the glamorous movie stars, but unforgettable older ladies—the salt-of-earth Nebraskan Mama Ewing, the blessed Sister Aimée, and the tough but adorable Olga Kedrova.
