Writing Los Angeles is a wonderful anthology of short stories that portray LA in every light imaginable.
"...Los Angeles has always been a place of paradisal promise and apocalyptic undercurrents. Simone de Beauvoir saw a kaleidoscopic "hall of mirrors," Aldous Huxley a "city of dreadful joy." Jack Kerouac found a "huge desert encampment," David Thomson imagined "Marilyn Monroe, fifty miles long, lying on her side, half-buried on a ridge of crumbling rock.'"
Writing Los Angeles is full of essays on LA. It covers many different perspectives as well as different time periods.
