About This Item
An earthquake destroys L.A. in this unusual novel, an exploration of how people-- specifically Americans, more specifically Angelenos-- cope with trauma, not so much in a learning-and-sharing-and-growing way as in a depressingly selfish, nihilistic '70s kind of way. But there is dark comedy in it, and it certainly pulls a reader in by beginning with a big bang and then not relenting.
