Ulin has assembled the literary equivalent of the Watts Towers: a dazzling dreamscape made from the most ordinary, terrifying, and euphoric debris of L.A. life.--Mike Davis</p> <p>This regional anthology is, in the best sense, all over the map. Broad in scope and varied in style, <em>Another City</em> offers some of the most exciting, unpredictable writing a reader could hope for.--Bernard Cooper</p> <p>Los Angeles has been called America's first postmodern city, and David L. Ulin's brilliantly chosen cast of extraordinary writers brings that hypothesis exquisitely to life.--Carolyn See</p> <p><em>Another City</em> bids a long goodbye to the exile tradition of writing about Southern California that prevailed in the last century. Its contributors are Angelenos 'native or born-again' who embrace L.A. as hometown and body of fate. Their collective dispatches are confessional, nostalgic, tender, harrowing, often very funny, occasionally exhibitionistic, unfailingly vivid and evocative.--David Reid, editor of <em>Sex, Death and God in L.A.</em></p> <p>David Ulin has lived in Los Angeles since 1991. From 1993-96 he was the book editor of the <em>LA Weekly</em>.
