Each story serves as a reflection of Daniel A. Olivas’s grand City of Angels, a “magical metropolis where dreams come true.”\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The characters here represent all walks of L.A. life—from Satan’s reluctant Craigslist roommate to a young girl coping with trauma at her brother’s wake—and their tales ebb and flow among various styles, including magical realism, social realism, and speculative fiction. Like a jazz album, they glide and bop, tease and illuminate, sadden and hearten as they navigate effortlessly from meta to fabulist, from flash fiction to longer, more complex narratives.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e These are literary sketches of a Los Angeles that will surprise, connect, and disrupt readers wherever they may live.\u003cbr\u003e  ","brand":"University of Arizona Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47069401612528,"sku":"9780816537501","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780816537501_p0.jpg?v=1763742292","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780816537501","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
