Mike Davis, City of Quartz: Excavating the Future in Los Angeles (Verso Books 1990; Vintage 1992) A portrait of the history and future of Los Angeles, as told by a California-bred urban theorist. His "ornery," "exhaustively-researched," "visionary rant," combined with Robert Morrow's photographs, reveals a corrupt and socially divided city. "A nightmare vision of hypertrophied Lost Angeles," according to Todd Gitlin, "its dreams burning to a crisp." MORE: Verso Books publicity page Amazon |
