“Genius!”
Los Angeles magazine, Best Books About L.A. 2018
“…a new dimension to the city’s literary canon.”
KCET Notable Books 2018
“… a comprehensive embrace of the city that has always resisted comprehension.”— Paul Mandelbaum, L.A. Review of Books
“… intense, vivid and thoughtful, obviously informed by research, affection, and a critical editorial process. . . . and, yes, incredibly fun.”
KPFK Radio “Bibliocracy”
