Contributors include Eve Babitz, Alexander Cockburn, Mike Davis, Lynell George, Thomas S. Hines, Jeremy Larner, Ruben Martinez, Carolyn See, David Thomson. "David Reid has gathered together the novelists, journalists, and cultural critics who could best address the myths, define the truths, and interpret the media images of the second largest city in the U.S. They report on the new Latino and Asian populations of South Central and the East Side and the old establishment of the West side; Downtown with its heavily mortgaged office towers held by Canadian and Japanese landlords; shuttered factories and thriving sweatshops; architecture from Irving Gill to Frank O. Gehry; messiahs from Krishnamurti to L. Ron Hubbard; rituals of power in Movieland and yoga and seduction in Beverly Hills. Ranging from acute political commentary to evocative literary impressions, this is a collection that will engage not only those who live in southern California but all those curious about this megalopolis in the desert." [publisher copy] "SEX, DEATH AND GOD IN L.A. is a provocative and involving book--the sort of book that makes you want to read more about Los Angeles, the sort of book that compels you to think about the mind-boggling disparities--social, economic and cultural--that exist within the boundaries of Los Angeles and so many other American cities."--Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times. "Swings merrily from gritty social commentary to sex with yoga-jocks, from God to socialist history (Mike Davis, again) and architecture. On the way it drops plenty of interesting facts."--The Economist. Pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine.
