Description
A stimulating anthology of 14 futuristic L.A. fables explores the city's unique blend of natural disasters, artifice, wealth and poverty. Denise Hamilton has brought together fourteen stories, including one by herself, from some of the city's most prophetic voices. In these pages, you'll encounter a diverse range of reimagined Los Angeles, from changelings to black holes, beachfront property in Century City, and walled-off canyons reserved for the wealthy. Each story is set in a distinct neighborhood filled with local color, landmarks, and flavor. This anthology provides a wormhole into other worlds while also commenting on our own. Featuring brand-new stories by Charles Yu, Aimee Bender, Lisa Morton, Alex Espinoza, Ben H. Winters, Denise Hamilton, Lynell George, Stephen Blackmoore, Francesca Lia Block, Duane Swierczynski, Luis J. Rodriguez, A.G. Lombardo, Kathleen Kaufman and S., this collection is a thought-provoking exploration of the city's surreal and mythic qualities.
