Description
Matthew Specktor's memoir is a deeply personal and erudite exploration of failure, creativity, and the search for meaning in Los Angeles. The author's journey to make sense of the mythologies of success and failure that haunt the artist's life is a vibrant and intimate inspection of the city's under-sung stories. Through a constellation of iconic figures, Specktor unearths a fascinating alternate history of the city and reveals the ways in which curtailed ambition, insufficiency, and loss shape all our lives.
