Review:
"Absolutely fascinating."
--William Gibson "A history as fascinating as it is instructive."
--Peter Ackroyd, Times "Few books shed as much light on their subjects as this opinionated and original excavation of Los Angeles from the mythical debris of its past and future."
--San Francisco Examiner

--San Francisco Examiner
'Courageously broad in its scope, City of Quartz changes intellectual gear - from history to sociology to urban theory - often with consummate ease, and fits its diverse threads together in a sort of 'history noir' as gripping as any Chandler. ' Listener.
