Its self-magnifying myths encompass Hollywood glamour, Arcadian landscapes, and endless summer, but also the apocalyptic undertow of riots, environmental depredation, and natural disaster. This Companion traces the evolution of Los Angeles as the most public staging of the American Dream - and American nightmares. The expert contributors make exciting, innovative connections among the authors and texts inspired by the city, covering the early Spanish settlers, African American writers, the British and German expatriates of the 1930s and 1940s, Latino, and Asian LA literature. The genres discussed include crime novels, science fiction, Hollywood novels, literary responses to urban rebellion, the poetry scene, nature writing, and the most influential non-fiction accounts of the region. Diverse, vibrant, and challenging as the city itself, this Companion is the definitive guide to LA in literature"--Provided by publisher. 000343049 650_0 $$aAmerican literature$$zCalifornia$$zLos Angeles$$xHistory and criticism. 000343049 651_0 $$aLos Angeles (Calif.)$$xIn literature. 000343049 7001_ $$aMcNamara, Kevin R.,$$d1958- 000343049 85200 $$bgen$$hPS285.L7$$iC36$$i2010 000343049 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:343049$$pGLOBAL_SET 000343049 980__ $$aBIB 000343049 980__ $$aBOOK
