Description
Los Angeles Stories is a collection of loosely linked tales that evoke a bygone era in one of America's most iconic cities. In post-World War II Los Angeles, a do-it-yourself culture of outsiders and oddballs populated the old downtown neighborhoods, where ordinary working folks rubbed elbows with petty criminals and grifters. These stories about the common people of Los Angeles are suffused with the essence and character of the times, and the strange things that happen to them. The city's underclass is captured in the patois of the streets, where musicians, gun shop owners, streetwalkers, and others intersect in cleverly plotted stories that center around some kind of shadowy activity. This quirky collection will appeal to fans of hard-boiled fiction and anyone interested in the city itself. A fascinating glimpse into a lost way of life, Los Angeles Stories is a love letter to the city's unique spirit.
