About this ebook
- Author's first book since the critically acclaimed Culture Crash (Yale University Press, 2016), which was reviewed in the New York Times, the New Yorker, and The New Republic, among others.
- First posthumous work by Scott Timberg.
- A selection of Timberg's best essays across a wide range of subjects and figures, which have appeared in such places as the Los Angeles Times, New Times LA, the New York Times, the Dallas Observer, Salon, Al Jazeera America, Los Angeles Magazine, and Vox.
- Includes profiles of musicians, fiction writers, filmmakers, graphic novelists, architects, and impresarios. It also charts Timberg’s growing concern about the increasingly precarious fate of America’s creative class, and what the challenges facing artists mean for American society more broadly.
-
For readers of Rachel Kushner or Gary Indiana, and other torchbearers of the contemporary American cultural essay.
- A collection steeped in all the complication of living and writing in Los Angeles, so it is tailor-made for that audience, but this author was published and praised in East Coast journals, newspapers, and magazines.
