Los Angeles People, Places, and the Castle on the Hill

In this eclectically entertaining traveler's tale, novelist A. M. Homes turns her famously sharp wit and even sharper pen loose on the quintessentially American landscape called Los Angeles-and the result is a bravura performance filled with colorful characters, surprising scenes, and affectionate yet clear-eyed insight. This is a place where even newcomers carry "earthquake kits" and where the Beverly Hills postman is an art-world insider. At its heart, for those in show business anyway, is a fabled hotel called the Chateau Marmont. Like the city itself, the Chateau is a place where the legendary past meets a starry-eyed future, and as Homes deftly intertwines their stories, Los Angeles comes alive.Homes, A. M. is the author of 'Los Angeles People, Places, and the Castle on the Hill' with ISBN 9780792265368 and ISBN 079226536X.
