Synopsis
THE SAINTS ARE STILL HERE.
You just have to know where to look.
They drive buses before sunrise. They make maple bars in Reseda and tamales in Boyle Heights. They repair old watches, unlock schoolyards twenty minutes early, sit beside the dying, spin forgotten records through the Los Angeles night, and sometimes gather beneath eucalyptus trees with six coyotes and a thermos of coffee.
The Saints of the Invisible City is a collection of interconnected stories about the Los Angeles hiding inside Los Angeles: a city of immigrants, mystics, addicts, artists, cooks, custodians, ghosts, fallen angels, punk rockers, grieving parents, and ordinary people performing small acts of impossible mercy.
From Hollywood punk clubs and downtown thrift stores to Griffith Park, Koreatown, Boyle Heights, the San Fernando Valley, the harbor, and the high desert beyond, these stories wander the borderlands between realism and myth, heartbreak and humor, the sacred and the beautifully profane.
Inside you'll find:
- A groundskeeper who has spent thirty-two years noticing what nobody else does, and the six coyotes who meet at her picnic table every equinox
- A last radio broadcast for a city that stopped listening
- An exorcism attempted, with mixed results, on the San Fernando Valley
- A custodian who opens the gates early because some children need somewhere safe to wait
At its heart, this is a book about attention. About the people history forgets and cities cannot survive without. About kindness practiced without witnesses, and the possibility that holiness has been hiding in work clothes all along.
For readers who love literary short fiction, magical realism, and the real Los Angeles underneath the postcard.
