Description
"The L.A. cliche is one of shallow, beautiful people reading nothing more demanding than tweets and scripts for TV pilots. In reality, the City of Angels has always been a bookish place, positively thick with writers, bookstores, literary festivals, publishers, libraries, literary landmarks, and lots and lots of books -- really good books. Read Me, Los Angelese is a lively, informed, richly illustrated celebration of all things literary in L.A. past and present, including : L.A. author interviews; literary landmarks; tracking characters, from Marlowe to Weetzie Bat to Bandini; must-read L.A. fiction, history, nonfiction, YA, poetry, and guidebooks; the city of such dearly departed authors as Bradbury, Butler, Isherwood, and Gold; festivals, bookstores, libraries, publishers, and nonproficts; quotes galore." --,Back cover.
