Beautiful ruminations, layered mosaics of the city I’ve begun to call home. Baldwin gets at the heart of the contradictions of the city. He doesn’t try to reconcile them, he more just tries to understand them. Emphatically recommend to anyone who’s spent more than a week in LA

I grew up here and was hoping this would give my a fresh perspective. But alas it just repeated stuff I already knew. I found it boring. A regurgitation of LAIST articles in a book. I feel like if you’re not from LA you’ll probably appreciate this. I know that sounds snobby but whatevs.

my god i love la. so many important and insightful stories woven together. Much like the city itself, as Baldwin notes, it feels historic and contemporary at the same time.

Rozczarowanko ☹️ Według mnie to jedna z słabszych książek wydanych w ramach serii amerykańskiej.
